Look for PubDef on the newly-launched Show Me Progress website. Labels: Media_WatchShow Me Progress was founded in summer 2007 by a coalition including members of Democracy for America, Progressive Democrats, bloggers, and other Missouri activists. Our goal is to provide a resource and gathering place for the Missouri progressive community. Show Me Progress is a member of the 50 State Blog Network.

I like PubDef and folks who are the focus of Show Me Progress, but there seems to be an inconsistency here:
How does "provid[ing] a resource and gathering place [specifically] for the Missouri progressive community", specifically including up-front partisan left-leaning groups like Democracy for America and Progressive Democrats, jibe with PubDef's self-identification as "a non-partisan, independent political blog"?

Democracy is not a partisan issue. Presumably, we all support government by the people and differ only in how much time we spend on it.

glad to be among the friendly faces on there, albeit a differing section

anonymous is apparently fooled by a name. Lots of political groups latch onto words and phrases that people relate to favorably, like progress, leadership, liberty, truth, fair, justice, and of course democracy. Democracy for America is a very left-of-center advocacy group. It is "bipartisan," i.e., Democrat and Green.

I think it's hilarious that Pub Def is doing this. On one hand they are promoting "show me progress" and at the same time they are leading the campaign for Hubbard who scored 44% with Mo Pro Vote.
