Go west! Dems did, now fight to retain their gains

Good AP story on the Democrats uphill battle to hold onto the political gains made in the 2008 election, including issues and candidates covered in the documentary.

A Political Documentary

How Obama Won the West is a feature-length documentary journey through the American West during the last few weeks of the historic 2008 election. We follow the campaigns, talk to grass-roots volunteers and interview a cast of quirky characters including a founder of the Weather Underground, a Republican environmental activist and Sarah Palin's brother, among others.

The documentary will begin touring film festivals in Spring 2010. In the meantime, I'll post articles and links to stories that cover politics and environmental issues in the West.
