This comes across as partisan, but it has just enough facts, with source links, to make it's case.

This is a well written commentary about Congress. It makes good sense and reads well. My only concern is that this commentary is in English newspaper rather than in an American newspaper.

I agree with Tomasky's observation. He could havegone into more depth why things are the way they are.

This isn't the first time that the current system has been referred to as 'broken'. But this is a quite articulate interesting presentation.

Opinion piece that makes one think about how dependent we are on those 58, 59, and 60th votes to pass in Senate. Do these people hold the power in passing legislation? According to Tomasky they very much do. But what would a broad educational campaign by Obama look like?
