Reviewing various blogs today, after being slack yesterday. I am enjoying the fact that many representatives and delegates are making themselves available to the blogger community at the DNCC.

Dems Presidential Nomination
Last night, I watched the process for the selection of presidential candidate for the Democratic Party. After the nomination speeches in the afternoon, the states had a roll-call (in the evening) that went on into the night). Following the end of the voting, John Kerry won 🙂 Yeah, yeah, I know 🙂

FRC Survey?
I was overjoyed to receive a copy of the Family Research Council's 2004 Election Survey today. I guess that teaches me to sign up for their email lists and use their website to send e-letters to elected officials. It's a small price to pay 🙂
Watching the States
Another site I was looking at today was the Swing State Project. According the site it is a”project to analyze the key swing states in the 2004 Presidential election.” Be sure to check out the methodology and map of the key swing states. Worth a look.
