Breaking News... GM CEO Fritz Henderson and Vice Chairman Robert Lutz are to announce this morning that the Chevrolet Volt will be certified with a city fuel efficiency of 230MPG when it begins production early next year.

GM Press Release (Press Event at Warren Technical Center later today)

WARREN, Mich. - The Chevrolet Volt extended-range electric vehicle is expected to achieve city fuel economy of at least 230 miles per gallon, based on development testing using a draft EPA federal fuel economy methodology for labeling for plug-in electric vehicles.

The Volt, which is scheduled to start production in late 2010 as a 2011 model, is expected to travel up to 40 miles on electricity from a single battery charge and be able to extend its overall range to more than 300 miles with its flex fuel-powered engine-generator.

Bloomberg story below the fold. More details as they become available...

With many of the diaries on the Reclist approaching 800+ comments I'm offering this one up to continue the great tradition of liveblogging here at DKos in an attempt to consolidate and help organize Reclist coverage of the continuing 'Crisis in Iran.'

Recommend this up and follow below the fold for a round up of today's important developments out of the Persian state. You'll also find a resource center with links to other websites covering the story as well as Twitter feeds from Iran that you should be reading. There are also ways details on how to help set up proxy servers (via Huffington Post) to allow Iranian dissidents to get around the government's blocking and filtering of the internet.

And... if it becomes necessary, we can solicit for child blogs. Wanted to get this up as reports begin to pour in from around Iran early this morning.

JUMP...

The last thread has become unwieldy in as it's approaching almost 1000 comments. I thought it might be time to try to consolidate blogs and resources into one helpful list. If you can volunteer to put up a liveblog it would be more than appreciated. We can use the mothership as a liveblog until we can get the volunteers lined up.

For this crisis, unlike previous crises is not of their own making.

Let me put it this way, imagine the automakers as person who smoked too much, drank too much and ate too many steak dinners. The person goes to his doctor who tells him he has to change his ways or he will die. Our hero gets religion; stops drinking, quits smoking, eats salads and starts going to the gym.

Now lets imagine the bankers as 1930's style Chicago (or Detroit or New York or wherever) gangsters. They've all made a ton of money in a shell game, bribed all the right people, but their scheme has come undone causing lots of trouble for everyone. So they decide in anger and frustration to drag down Lower Wacker or Woodward with tommy guns blazing - lots of innocent people are mowed down, including our good citizen who has reformed his ways and tried to make a better life for himself.

Today's results in Nevada are no doubt depressing for many Edwards supporters. I, along with everyone else here, was hoping that he would do better. After today's results there will be a cascade of diaries from Obama and Clinton supporters urging us to give up on Edwards and support one of the two "front runners" in this race. I'm not, and you shouldn't, and I've got a better reason than I've already bought a plane ticket to campaign for Edwards in California.

This fight for me is personal because of what I've seen my family endure, corporations that screw their workers, government that doesn't care about the people who have sacrificed so much for it, and people who have worked hard for their entire lives never getting ahead. That's what I'm fighting against, and its why I'm fighting for Edwards.

A second place finish in Iowa, beating Clinton, and a third place finish in New Hampshire, increasing his number of votes by nearly 100%, the John Edwards campaign still finds itself being ignored by the media and dismissed by the pundits as largely irrelevant to this race.

This is a narrative that is easily changed though. Four months ago, John McCain was dead and Barack Obama didn't have a chance. 72 hours ago, Hillary Clinton was on the verge of an epic political defeat and the viability of her campaign was being questioned. Anything can and frequently does happen in politics which is a lesson that many need to take to heart. Back your candidate for what they believe in, not because they happen to be up or down at the moment!

The question is, how does John Edwards make himself relevant to "campaign coverage?" Where does he go from here? Can he be successful (i.e. win the nomination) doing it? Can he still win the nomination or will the political stars of Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton outshine him?

I put together a game plan for New Hampshire and promised a sequel for South Carolina, and you'll find it below the fold.
