I haven't had much time of late to read articles from different news sources. However, I did come across this blog about Norm Coleman, a MN senator. It is a bit sloppy and incredibly biased, but it is slightly difficult to deny Coleman's rise to national office is due to his connections within the Republican Party. Yet, isn't that how it is in politics regardless of party affiliation? To believe otherwise is naive.
Likewise, "It's who you know, not what you know." This phrase is so important in any field. The Village Voice highlighted a piece on BritPop and Blair. Read it if you are interested in New Labour or for a perspective on cultural influences in national elections.
"If you are an overeducated (or at least a semi-overeducated) youngish person with a sleep disorder and a surfeit of opinions, the thing to do, after all, is to start a blog." NYT, 09.12.05
