"After a count of provisional ballots left Republican Bob Beauprez the winner in Colorado's new 7th Congressional District by only 121 votes over Democrat Mike Feeley, some Republicans want to change the rules to give Beauprez a better chance to hold onto the seat in 2004. "

I've been enjoying the Political State Report since it launched a week or so ago.    The basic idea is to get local viewpoints of political issues around the country.  This is only the second Colorado report (the first was on Colorado asserting it's water rights over Californian use of the Colorado River) but I've been impressed with the coverage.  This entry focuses on the recent 7th congressional district contest and points out why Republicans in Colorado shouldn't get too sure of themselves.

In one of the clearest signs yet that hybrid cars may be going mainstream, General Motors Corp. plans to offer a variety of the gas-and-electric powered vehicles over the next four years.

The plan by the world's biggest automaker, to be announced Monday, includes hybrid models for cars, pickups and sports utility vehicles.

Nice to see some American car makers getting in on the act.
