Political reporters all over the nation are experiencing election postpartum depression. If you’re reading this blog, you might suffer from it, too.
It works like this: After months of mounting intrigue and 24/7 media coverage, voters go to the polls and declare a winner. And then, after that thrilling dénouement . . . comes a lull.
Suddenly, your Electoral College map is irrelevant. And your RSS feeds don’t call no more.
But don’t worry, there is still plenty of interesting political news being churned out, and we at the Ticket vow to supply you with a steady fix. Once a week, beginning today, we’ll post a roundup of some of the most interesting stories from around the web.
This week we offer:
An intimate look at Barack Obama’s faith.
A dispatch from the Republican Governors Assn. by our very own Mark Z. Barabak.
A very funny cartoon.
Foreign Policy’s 20 questions for Obama (thankfully, none of them are, ‘what kind of dog will you bring to the White House?’).
Josh Greenman’s own set of (sillier) questions.
Will Marshall’s advice to Obama on how he can close the ‘national security confidence gap.’
And an analysis of Obama’s technology policy. (Our own Jessica Guynn, by the way, has crowned Obama the president-elect of the YouTube nation.)
Happy reading.
