Five Clinton delegates and an Obama campaign volunteer packed into a rather claustrophobic RV on Sunday to begin a long, winding road trip to Denver for the Democratic Convention. They've got lots planned along the way to register new Democrats and spread the Unity message.

All along their trip -- and from the DNC next week -- they'll be updating their location using Brightkite, updating Twitter, and collecting this with blog updates on their website, TheUnityExpress.com.  Check it out!

Unfortunately for Saxby, he's getting the same treatment from one of his own Congressional delegation colleagues. Talk about fast karma!

The intra-party move against Chambliss has been inspired by his membership in the so-called "Gang of Ten," a bi-partisan cluster of Senators interested in reaching a compromise that will get at least something...

A pair of Georgia Democrats are vying for a job tomorrow to take on gangs this Fall. Well, one gang in particular, that is. Okay, maybe just one gang member, and his "gang" isn't even here in Georgia; it's in Washington, D.C.
