Election Day Reading

This morning I spotted a couple of Carnivals new to me. A Carnival in the blog world is a collection of posts on a particular subject. There are Carnivals on every topic under the sun.

The Carnival of Divided Government makes a strong case for the importance of a balance of power in the legislature.

The Carnival of the Decline of Democracy is interesting, though more partisan. Why is it that only Democrats are concerned about recent threats to Constitutional checks and balances?
