We believe this is a less cluttered design, and puts the political newswire front and center - well, actually to the left.  The newswire appears automatically after the graphic has been open for a few seconds.  The daily notes appear on the right side of the site, and opens automatically  after this announcement box has been displayed for a while.

In addition, the newswire and notes can be quickly opened from the index.  Again, please e-mail us with your comments.
