This Week in Blogging, Oct. 31
Surprisingly, most Missouri political blogs have stayed relatively issue-based and libel-free in the weeks heading up to next Tuesday. Of course, there are still seven full days left for someone to disappoint us all.
Thanks to Dave Drebes, Jo Mannies, Tony Messenger, Jason Rosenbaum, and Tony from Tony’s Kansas City for mentioning the National Journal/The Hotline deal. The deal will bring more eyeballs to Missouri blogs between now and Election Day 2008, which is good for bloggers and readers alike.
Jeff Roe has done a good job keeping track of Josh Lansdale from McCaskill ad fame. Roe says that Lansdale went to California to film more anti-Republican ads. Roe has also taken aim at FiredUpMissouri’s Roy Temple in the last week, and Temple has returned the favor on his blog.
PubDef has videos of Sandra Thomas and Susan Montee talking about themselves and their campaigns.
Katie Favazza linked to a YouTube video showing a county-by-county breakdown of presidential election results in Missouri (if you don’t watch the whole thing, be sure to watch the last 20 seconds).
Do newspapers’ endorsements matter? Tony Messenger and Randy Turner each give us a journalist’s perspective.
Paul Seale has an interesting interview with Norma Champion’s field manager Mike Barnett regarding the Champion/Harpool forum.
Tim Hilton weighed in on the Harold Ford - Bob Corker race in Tennessee.
Mayor Slay pulls no punches in answering the charge that St. Louis is a dangerous city. Slay’s blog also has a video Cards fans will like.
Speaking of the Cardinals: joy and pain.
For a laugh, visit CNET, which ranked the 17 worst campaign websites (link via Wonkette).
