Withdrawal

I was a political news junkie for almost two years. Now that the election is over, I'm going through major withdrawal. Even NPR did a story about us. I used to come home late from campaign volunteering and I stayed up past midnight to read the latest blog posts on The Page and Swampland at Time.com, and The Caucus at NYTimes.com. I watched video clips from The Daily Show and The Colbert Report. I read through all of the postings on CNN's Political Ticker. I was hooked! I even read through the transcripts from The Newshour's David Brooks and Mark Shields news analysis segments. I went to work very tired but satisfied that I was fully informed for the day ahead.

Now, I'm a little bored by the every day news. Well, it's only 69 days until the Inauguration. I guess I can hold out until then.

Politics and Religion

Did he really have to go there? The CNN Political Ticker offers up McCain's comments, distancing himself from this pastor. The scary part is that some people will listen to this crackpot man of God.

Young People Who Rock

I'm not sure why CNN doesn't publicize this more, but this is a really cool blog about people under 30 doing incredible things. Check it out.

Clinton vs. The Media

I must be making up for the weekend without any posts. I've been catching up on my political blog reading -- I only read two -- Time Swampland and the CNN Political Ticker. Both blogs take special note of the Clinton campaigns placement of the press filing center in Austin, Texas -- in a men's restroom.

Time Swampland

CNN Political Ticker -- they've posted a picture.

So, is this the Clinton campaign's way of getting back at the media for asking the hard questions?

How in the world??

As I watch the returns for Super Tuesday, I am mildly disturbed that CNN and all of the other networks project winners when only 2% of the precincts have reported their numbers. Didn't they learn anything about exit polls from the 2000 general election?
