Today's New Blawg

Nomination Nation turns the microcontent microscope on the judicial nomination and confirmation process. Another illustration of the niche so readily filled by weblogs: this topic has a high wonk factor, a small but passionate following who recognize the importance of getting and keeping good people in the judicial branch, and the political cyclones that surround that process. A group of knowledgeable bloggers can quickly become a, if not the, definitive source for information in this kind of area. Let's hope they do. NN's "Senator Spectator" reminds me that things should really heat up for them, as far as interesting related events, around and after the elections.
