Welcome to the Internets!
May 14th, 2012
Howdy folks, one of our Epolitics.com contributors, Kayle Hatt, has launched his own digital politics/political commentary blog, so go check it out! He’s Canadian, the poor frozen bastard, so he’s writing (appropriately enough) at KayleHatt.ca. Very cool, and welcome to the club!
Also, I believe I may have #failed miserably by never formally welcoming the Netroots Foundation’s “Winning the Internet” blog when it launched a few months back. They’re already doing great work by gathering “curated strategies and tactics for change,” and from Day One they demonstrated their profound understanding of the ‘tubes by including a cute kitten in their logo. Brilliant! So go check them out, too.

PollTracker averages are forward looking — they show where the data is going, not just where it’s been.
PollTracker is a product of TPM Media, the parent company of the popular political site Talking Points Memo.
