The group, financed by matching $10 million gifts by billionaires George Soros and Progressive Corp. chairman Peter Lewis, seeks to mobilize voters against Bush.

What does "Progressive Corp." sell?
Is it the rent-a-car business?
I want to know so I can avoid giving them any of my business. Thanks.

Progressive is an insurance company. Good rates too, at least in New York (relative to Warren Buffet's Geico).

A shame that they are owned by such a flaming lefty, though.

Weird. I was in my son's school parking lot today and a van pulled up with this huge Progressive logo on the side. Since I live in the gulag of Minnesota I had to take a closer look figuring it was some political thing from the Lefties coming in to do their daily indoctrination of the children. Actually it was an insurance claims guy. We had quite the snow storm yesterday which resulted in lots of accidents. He was there to check out the damage to a teacher's car. Thanks to FR, I find out Progressive is a "political thing." Nix to their insurance!
