A Site For Political Junkies

A friend of mine is a political professional. She has worked in seven states and in at least that many Democratic political campaigns. She’s a sort of political gypsy; a political soldier of fortune who goes where organizing and action are called for.

She has suggested a source for solid political reporting that, she assures me, is prized by political pros. Best of all it's free.

It was a surprise to me that it was buried in a major network news site: ABCNews.com.

It is on the site’s political page and is simply called "The Note." It is a remarkably detailed summary of political news stories, as well as a kind of ‘day book’ that tells what candidates are doing each day, along with other politically significant events. We don’t usually think of network news as more than sound bites and video clips, but there is a lot of good stuff there. Especially if you are currently working or volunteering for a favorite candidate you might want to take a look at it.

Again, the place to go is "The Note" on ABC’s political page.

Howard Dean Leads Kerry in New Hampshire

An American Research Group (ARG) poll shows Dean Leading Kerry in New Hampshire by 28 percent to 21 percent. Joe Lieberman is down to 4 percent after being at 11 percent in June. I guess the more folks actually get to see and hear ol’Joe, the less they like him. The story appeared in the Union Leader.( Free registration required.)

Kill A Motorcyclist…Go To Jail

Republican Congressman Bill Janklow ran a stop sign, hit and killed Motorcyclist Randolph Scott. Janklow’s car travelled 300 yards after the impact that killed Scott.

The Congressman had received a dozen speeding tickets in a four year period in the early 1990s. If no drugs or alcohol are involved Janklow could get ten years in the slammer for second degree manslaughter.

I’ll be surprised if he does. You can read a short report here: New York Times
