If you’re not reading Ben Smith’s blog at Politico.com, you may wish to consider that.

And it’s not all a matter of dense reading, either, as Smith links to a variety of video clips with extreme relevance to the current Presidential campaign. Check out, for example, an amusing clip recently uploaded, lampooning John McCain. Originally created by Media Matters, it’s the July 29th entry at Smith’s blog, “Media Grievance, Cont.” (You can also peep the video at YouTube here.)

I know that everyone is mostly focused on the primary in 7 days, but I just wanted to remind everyone that the General Election is just 100 days away.  We all have been watching the presidential race for what seems to be an eternity, but alas, it is almost over.  In just 100 days we will have the chance to participate in arguably one of the most historic elections of our lifetimes.  If we all put forth the effort like we did in 2004 and 2006, we’ll have a lot to celebrate come November 4th – we will have finally taken back both the Governor’s Mansion and the White House! And made Missouri Blue again!
