• Out of the Ordinary - How to Spice Up an Election

DETROIT - A flier sent by Michigan Democrats featuring a photo of Barack Obama that urged voters to submit an absentee ballot application includes a telephone number connecting callers to a phone sex line. State party spokeswoman Liz Kerr said Tuesday a typo on the flier from the Michigan Democratic State Central Committee directed people with questions to call an incorrect number. Kerr says the party apologizes for the misprint.

• Medical Supplier Stryker Probed ; Owners Donate to Democrats

A major medical equipment supplier, whose owners have spent millions of dollars helping elect Democrats nationwide, is under criminal investigation for its foreign sale of medical devices after already being tied to a kickback scheme involving U.S. doctors, public records show. A subsidiary of Stryker Corp. of Kalamazoo, Mich., last year signed an agreement to avoid prosecution and cooperate in the probe involving consulting contracts, trips and gifts to U.S. doctors.

• Quiet Revolution Blurs Line Between Old, 'New' Democrats

A quiet revolution is stirring in the country, and Taos County is an important reflection of this grassroots resurgence that is bringing together old-line Democrats and new Progressives. In just a few short weeks, what looked like a familiar, but bumpy road of political in-fighting in Taos turned into a free-flowing highway. This new brand of Democrat may spell trouble for candidates who still rely on old-style party politics that may be obsolete. Former Taos County Central Committee Chairman Billy Knight's success in bringing 65 percent of the county's registered Democrats to polls in the November 2005 election re-ignited the interest of old-line, "padrone" Democrats and energized the new Progressives who are more focused on national issues, such as the war in Iraq and health care.

• Chronicle Endorses Judge Brian Zahra for State Court of Appeals

In fact, a Detroit based minister said Judge [Diane Hathaway] said that one of the reasons she is campaigning for a seat on the Court of Appeals is so that she would be able to spend most of the winter on the sunny beaches in Florida. We don't need part-time judges. We suggest that Judge Hathaway just move to Florida permanently. Just because her last name is Hathaway, she is not entitled to this judgeship; she has to earn it. She has not. The city and state need judges who are committed to the communities that they serve. That is why we are supporting incumbent Judge [Brian Zahra] for re-election.
