Porkbusters: Next Steps

Things have been a bit quiet on the front for the past month, given the holidays, the Congressional break, as well as other competing priorities for both Glenn and myself.
But it is a new year, and we are gearing up to push forward with new ideas to expand and continue the work we started on Porkbusters in 2005. So, we wanted to open the floor up for suggestions. How can we evolve the project to have the greatest benefit? What features would you like to see on the Porkbusters pages? What types of issues should the project be focusing on?
Comments are open below, and we’re listening…

Blunt, Boehner and Pork

I’m still trying to wrap my head around the pluses and minuses of the two frontrunning candidates for the Republican’s next Majority Leader. One issue I certainly wanted to understand was their position on pork, and so I headed over to Against Government Waste to check how they were rated. Here’s how they stacked up:
John Boehner: 75% positive score for the 108th congress
Roy Blunt: 65% positive score for 108th congress
So: both candidates make it into CAGW’s “friendly” category, but neither are lighting up the sky as blazing stars of Porkbusting.
Any chance we can throw these two back in the pond and ask for a do-over…?
Update: Can’t throw these two back, but now there is an Option C:
John Shadegg: 97% positive score for the 108th congress
