Good coverage is likely to be had over at
UnmannedSpaceflight, in topic To the Cape!.
Given recent events, the update includes much about the budget for operating the rovers.
Edit: (I should add: the
Martian Chronicles Blog, by a few on the front lines remotely at Cornell, will also likely provide good coverage of the assault on Verde.)
