View Full Version : Interest in a political update?

I am thinking about starting a biweekly type update on all things political for liberty candidates. Any race we either A) have a liberty candidate or B) is an important race and has someone who leans in our direction will be covered. (NOTE: Campaigns will only be covered when they have news to be told!)

My reasoning is I keep stumbling on the internet over some people in our movement who don't get the notice on here but are making waves in their home districts. We need a way to point this out to us RPF'ers so we can judge who is running the most viable campaigns.

This is something that DailyKos does really well. Theirs is expanded to cover all electoral events, but I would just want to start smaller first (plus I have a busy schedule!) But if the quality of DKos was enough to make me religiously follow it everytime it is up, I think it might be worth it for us to have this resource.

But I don't want to do this if there is no interest. So if you think this is something you would ACTUALLY read and comment on, please post here so I know this isn't a pointless endeavor.

Here is a sample of what it might be like in terms of material covered (though not quite this thorough)

It will also have posts about political happenings scattered in on days that I won't be making the huge update on liberty candidates, with stories like on http://www.independentpoliticalreport.com
