Daily Briefing - Tuesday March 14, 2006

The Analyst analyzes Select A Candidate. I tried to post a comment but I've finally reached the phase of remembering too many passwords and if you get it wrong, you have to type in those random letters that keep spammers from posting. And if you get it wrong again, there's a bunch of new letters to type in. If you get it wrong again, even more. Since it's 8:30 and I have to be at work by 11, I gave up.
Good article, though.

NPR has started a newsroom blog. Some of Mixed Signals has to do with politics. Most doesn't. But if you read closely you can almost hear how stories are discussed.

Christy Mihos has joined the race for governor of Massachusetts. Rasmussen has a Bay State poll out today. Merrimack College has a poll that says about the same thing. Mass., to many people's surprise, has a habit of not electing Democrats to the corner office that often since Foster Furcolo. Of course, in that state, the big cheese is the House Speaker.

Oh, and John Kline jumped into the race yesterday officially yesterday. Given the news load yesterday, the timing wasn't that great to get many mentions. Of course, it was no surprise either.

Unrelated ponderables
Northwest Airlines to charge $15 for an aisle seat. Doesn't anyone like looking out the window anymore? And you don't have to get up every 10 minutes to let someone go to the bathroom.

For the record, current settings on my site do not require a password to post a comment. You do have to type in the funny shaped letters, though, to keep out those automated trolls advertising porn sites etc.

Thanks again for all the links to my site!
