Some Favorite Links:
  • CNN Political Ticker A great way to catch new developments in the new administration.
  • C-SPAN Home Page News and featured topics from the cable network that covers government exclusively.
  • Referendum on Obama? Remember we were talking about whether or not the elections in VA & NJ meant trouble for Obama's presidency? I found this article on CNN that addresses that & thought you might like to read it.
