Following the Election Like a Pro
Lee Gomes, in his Wall Street Journal Portal column today talks about how it is that the average person can become politically savvy by following the sources reporters read for their news. He mentions contacting one particular blog commentator he assumed was a professional political junkie only to find out the guy is a teacher in California. How does someone like that get all that knowledge and insight? He reads some of these:
The Note on the ABC News Site
First Read on MSNBC's site
The Political Ticker blog on CNN
pollster.com by Mark Blumenthal
memeorandum.com, which automatically generates links to the most important news summaries from other commentators and sites every 5 minutes
politico.com (Did you know William F. Buckley just died?)
One last interesting site mentioned was techpresident, a blog which tracks how presidential candidates are using technology, Facebook, YouTube, blogs, etc. It tracks statistics on how many supporters candidates have in MySpace and Facebook, along with how many times their videos have been viewed in YouTube.
Let's see if their badge works here
