Earlier today, I posted another one of my observations about candidate endorsement interviews. It was about a guy who as much as anyone is the test case of whether out-of-state groups can really take out legislators who support public schools.
So where did I post it? Well, I backdated it to May 1, the day the interview occurred. Please go read it.
Anyway, I posted this editor’s note at the top of it:
Note to loyal readers: I’m writing this retroactively nine days later. I’ve been too busy participating in interviews to stop and write about them. I’m 12 behind, and if I don’t get this one done before my next interview, I’ll be 15 behind by the end of the day. Therefore, I’m going to try to keep them shorter than I did the first three, which were more or less column length. This way, I’ll at least get to share the highlights with you. (Assuming you care. Do you? I mean, this is probably the most valuable stuff I’ve put on this blog yet, in terms of being information you won’t get anywhere else — information relating to decisions S.C. voters will have to make soon. Yet I’m seeing few or no comments. Maybe you’re reading them and not commenting. I hope so.)
Actually, now at the end of the day, I’m 14 behind. And I admit, I didn’t keep that last one short. But I’ve got to start doing so, or I’ll never catch up…
Thanks for all your hard work.Without the State,I would be completely lost at the polls.I guess these issues are a little to blase for most,even though they’re some of the most important.After my last post,Dave wanted to argue about guns.I’m really tired of the arguments(including my own)and don’t feel much like posting anymore.Blog burnout.Once again,thanks for keeping me informed.
Bill, that doesn’t sound like you (or is this another Bill?), but I agree. Great post. Have you noticed that they are still going at each other down on the “Rummy” column? Here’s hoping they wear each other out down there and leave some interesting topics to others.
Herb,
Same “bill”,different attitude.I’ve noticed on most blogs around the internethood that people are there mainly to vent hostilities.There’s a music blog I read(but rarely post)called “bagatellen” and they get into personal attacks just talking about MUSIC!! After scrolling down some of the endless arguments on this blog,I go into sensory overload.None of it means anything and it becomes surreal and,I think,somewhat selfdestructive for everyone involved
