I really enjoy Time’s Swampland Blogger website – it allows respected journalists like Joe Klein a chance to comment on the stories that they write – or talk about the stories they don’t get to write.

An Interesting Ad From Elsewhere (First in a Series of Political Advertising Critiques)
Several candidates across the country tried to parlay a Super Bowl ad into chatter, and therefore momentum and money, including Alabama’s own Attorney General Candidate Luther Strange. While Luther’s ad was an admirable example of out-of-the-box thinking, highlighting his good-guy and Bama Bred Bonafides, this post is concerning Michigan Republican candidate for Governor Rick Snyder.
