John Zuern, a friend in Hawai'i, did this web poem project, which I find excellent mix of poetry and critique:

Also interesting article by Alexander Cockburn in most recent NLR that somewhat relates to Dan's question of several weeks ago.

some highlights:
Many attest to a slack political tempo this campaign season. A simple refusal to vote at all on the presidential candidate could see the turnout drop below 50 per cent, as bleak a register of popular cynicism about the realities of the democratic mandate in the us today as the Venezuelan turnout was exhilarating. The next us president could even be denied a majority ‘mandate’ from the sliver of those voters going to the polls. By the same token, the shape of resistance in the coming years will not derive from a vote for Kerry, or even one for Nader, but from the harnessing of those vital, idealistic energies that always move through the American firmament, awaiting release.
