 DemNotes: December 2004 Archives
Daily Kos, a blog that I thoroughly endorse (it is my homepage on Internet Explorer), has created the dKosPedia, which is an online community-created encyclopedia of issues and subjects.
From there, you can pick an issue (such as Hydrogen Energy, or Health Care, or Bush's "Ownership Society"), and view arguments for and against each, as well as helpful tips on how progressives can better address each issue to the undecided public.
I came across a similar resource in 2000 at the Democratic Convention in Los Angeles (in printed format), and found it to be incredibly instructive and insightful.
