Anyone have a list of conservative blogs covering the RNC?

As the title says, I was wondering if anyone has a list of conservative web logs by people at the Republican National Convention, or by those who have sources behind the scenes at the events. TIA.

Meet the Bloggers, Part Two

By CARL BIALIK and ELIZABETH WEINSTEIN
THE WALL STREET JOURNAL ONLINE
August 26, 2004

NEW YORK -- Republican Web loggers are getting ready for their shot at posting convention news and commentary, and they say they've learned from their left-leaning counterparts' experience five weeks earlier.

At Madison Square Garden, the official blogger group will number about 15, a tiny fraction of the estimated 15,000 journalists expected, and less than half the size of the accredited Boston blogger set. "That's just the number we landed on," said convention spokeswoman Alyssa McClenning. She wouldn't discuss how convention planners chose the group, but said the bloggers "reflected a mix of ideologies." Adding to the blend are some delegates and traditional journalists who also plan to blog from the convention.

In the accreditation process, Republican convention organizers invited particular bloggers, while the Democrats used applications. But the result is the same: a lot of home-team support. Most Boston bloggers were solidly in the John Kerry camp, while most New York bloggers plan to vote for President Bush. A handful of centrist bloggers are attending both.

The Wall Street Journal Online e-mailed questionnaires to bloggers accredited for the New York convention, asking about their political views, blogging style, approach to the convention and opinions on mainstream media coverage. Nearly all replied. Click on the bloggers' names to see their responses to the questionnaire and a link to their Web sites. (Or click here1 to see the answers from the Boston bloggers last month.)

Some Republican convention bloggers also took shots at the Boston bloggers. Asked what they learned from Boston, some of the New York bloggers characterized the Boston coverage as self-absorbed and overly preoccupied with celebrity sightings. The Republican bloggers said they'd stay more focused on the issues and the convention itself -- a chance they'll get next week.

Note that some bloggers run their own sites, while some contribute to other blogs. Responses have been edited.

[Adesnik]

David Adesnik, 27, Oxford University doctoral candidate, Charlottesville, Va. OxBlog.15 Describe your blog briefly. OxBlog is written by three graduate students with a passionate interest in foreign affairs, electoral politics, journalism, law and single-malt scotch. How do you plan to cover the convention -- what kind of content can readers expect? All the top publications described the Democratic convention as a non event, but still sent dozens and dozens of correspondents to cover it. This time around, OxBlog will provide an inside look at how journalists come up with publishable stories about a non event. Why should people read your coverage? Liberal blogs covered the Democratic convention. Conservative blogs will cover the Republican convention. OxBlog is the only one that will cover both conventions -- and from an independent point of view. What's the biggest gap in convention coverage by mainstream media in prior election years? I've only been a news junkie for a couple of years now, so I'll tell you what I thought the biggest gap was in Boston last month. In Boston, we heard almost nothing about the struggle to control Kerry's policy agenda and campaign strategy, even though the Democrats are deeply divided on the biggest issues of the day. Moment/speaker/event you're most looking forward to covering. Bush's speech. His last State of the Union address was a disappointment. This is the President's chance to show that he can lead the campaign charge rather than hoping that Kerry self-destructs. What did you learn about blogging a convention from the Boston coverage? It has to be a team effort. If you're covering the convention, it's impossible to keep up with what the other 15,000 journalists are writing about it. But if your co-editors are sitting at their desks covering the coverage, you can focus on the convention itself. Which presidential candidate do you plan to vote for in November? Undecided.

Bill Ardolino, 28, marketing manager, Washington, D.C. INDC Journal16. Describe your blog briefly. A mix of ad hoc humor, political analysis, serious photojournalism and wildly unserious photojournalism ... with the occasional cartoon. How do you plan to cover the convention? My readers can expect limited live-blogging coverage; I tend to take volumes of pictures and hunt down stories, which I then edit and release at a later date. My blog is a bit like the electronic equivalent of a monthly, in that much of the really good coverage may be released AFTER the convention. Why should people read your coverage? Because I'd like to think that my photoblogging is among the best in the blogosphere. Here are some samples (there is much more, and most of these examples have multiple installments): INDC Presents: National World War II Memorial Dedication Weekend; Part One17 and INDC Journal Interviews Michael Berg18 What's the biggest gap in convention coverage by mainstream media in prior election years? The "wakefulness gap." Moment/speaker/event you're most looking forward to covering. Tie: John McCain and Rudy. What did you learn from the Boston coverage? Don't talk to the mainstream media. Oops. Which presidential candidate do you plan to vote for in November? W.
[Aylward]

Kevin Aylward, 40, independent technology consultant, Potomac Falls, Va. Wizbang!19 Describe your blog briefly. Wizbang is a unique mix of news, politics, and entertainment. Wizbang has grown steadily into one of the most popular conservative Web logs on the Internet since its founding in April 2003. How do you plan to cover the convention -- what kind of content can readers expect? Wizbang will have two guest posters (not at the convention) focusing on the content of the major speeches. This was a lesson learned from the DNC -- those watching at home have the ideal platform to do instant analysis of speeches (TiVo makes it easy). I will focus on interviews and behind-the-scenes reports, which won't be instantaneously published. Why should people read your coverage? I've approached our coverage as a conversation with my audience. For example, each week leading up to the convention I let my readers vote on who I should be interviewing in a few different categories, such as news babes, celebrities, talking heads, politicians, etc ... I'll cover the protest, parties, pageantry, and gossip as well as the convention news -- all presented with the edge Wizbang readers have come to expect. What's the biggest gap in convention coverage by mainstream media in prior election years? With 15,000 members of the mainstream media converging on the convention, I'm not so sure they've missed anything just by sheer dumb luck. It's like Super Bowl coverage, too many reporters chasing not enough news. I plan on covering the parts of the process that are interesting to me and the folks that read Wizbang regularly. If I try to shape coverage on what I think my readers would be interested in, I think I'll do fine. Moment/speaker/event you're most looking forward to covering. Aside from the president's acceptance speech, probably Rudy Giuliani's keynote speech. What did you learn from the Boston coverage? Readers of sites covering the DNC rightly criticized the number of "hey, look at me" posts from DNC bloggers. I'm aware much of the audience isn't interested in what I had for dinner and what my hotel room is like. Which presidential candidate do you plan to vote for in November? Bush.

Tom Bevan, 35, blog editor, Chicago. Real Clear Politics.20 Describe your blog. RCP is a daily clearinghouse of the best political commentary and analysis, as well as the latest political news & polling data. How do you plan to cover the convention? We're going to do our best to stick to our format: a 500-1,500 word essay each morning analyzing the events of the previous day. We may update the blog during the day if we feel there is something important to say. Why should people read your coverage? We hope to make it interesting and informative. What's the biggest gap in convention coverage by mainstream media in prior election years? There's hardly any background or color in the coverage these days. The networks pop in to cover a speech, do some snap punditry and are out again. There's a lot of interesting information to be gleaned from delegates and, hopefully, some interesting stories to tell. Moment/speaker/event you're most looking forward to covering. Probably Sen. Zell Miller (D., Ga.) What did you learn from the Boston coverage? It's important to stay focused on the quality of what you post, not the quantity. Being there isn't good enough, nor is posting what you ate for lunch or which movie star or politico you bumped into in the elevator. Which presidential candidate do you plan to vote for in November? Bush.
[Domenech]

Ben Domenech, 22, speechwriter, McLean, Va. RedState.org21. Describe your blog briefly. A community activism Web log for Republicans and conservatives. How do you plan to cover the convention? The modern national convention holds about as much political significance as the MTV Awards. You can practically write the same AP piece about each one, except without the requisite "scantily clad" phrase (I hope). Our readers expect us to eke whatever homiletical nuggets we can out of this gargantuan salute to bad television and worse speeches, and we'll do our best to deliver. Why should people read your coverage? Because we're very representative of the mainstream Republican voter. Particularly me, since my chief political priorities are an abortion ban, a free Tibet, and another Super Bowl trophy for the Washington Redskins. I fully expect that platform to be embraced by at least one convention speaker, most likely Zell Miller. What's the biggest gap in convention coverage by mainstream media in prior election years? Without question, the insidious overarching influence of Jimmy Carter. Moment/speaker/event you're most looking forward to covering. President Bush's speech in Philly at the 2000 convention remains the best political speech he's given. I'm curious to see if he'll better it -- this is arguably the most important political speech of his career. What did you learn from the Boston coverage? Just about everyone blogging from Boston had a completely misguided attitude towards convention coverage. The interesting part isn't talking about Michael Moore or Jon Stewart, but how the Michigan fan and the Ohio State fan get along after four cases of S'more Schnapps at the 25th Annual Gala to Stop Intellectual Piracy (which is just like normal piracy, except without the plunder and wimmins). Which presidential candidate do you plan to vote for in November? The man who will do what it takes: George W. Bush.
[Hugh Hewitt]

Hugh Hewitt, 48, law professor, author and radio talk-show host, Orange County, Calif. HughHewitt.com22. Describe your blog. A blog primarily about politics and breaking news, but like the radio show, can also include items on anything that interests me, including the Cleveland Browns and Indians and Ohio State and Notre Dame football. How do you plan to cover the convention? I will be covering the convention in the same fashion as I did Boston -- updates on stories that break while the convention is on, along with any personal observations that the local color provides. Blogging a convention, I learned at the Fleet Center, is a lot like attending a football game as opposed to watching television -- you actually miss a lot of what the television audience sees, and the compensation is feeling what the television audience can't. Why should people read your coverage? For the same reasons they read newspapers and watch television -- to increase information flow from which they can choose whatever they like to absorb and/or act upon. What's the biggest gap in convention coverage by mainstream media in prior election years? The mainstream coverage is pretty good, actually. Bloggers just add more volume, and since the MSM [mainstream media] leans way left, the center-right bloggers add balance. Moment/speaker/event you're most looking forward to covering. I am looking forward to Rudy, Arnold, the Veep and W. Anyone who can be identified with a single word is big-time, to quote the vice president. Will Arnold announce he is there to "pump you up?" I think so. The president will hit a homerun, which will be great to hear first-person. What did you learn about blogging a convention from the Boston coverage? In Boston I learned that most bloggers, like many journalists, are lazy. They think three entries equals a day's work. Which presidential candidate do you plan to vote for in November? I am voting for Bush.
[Hinderaker]

John Hinderaker, 53, lawyer, Apple Valley, Minn. Power Line.23 Describe your blog briefly. A group blog devoted mostly to political commentary. We are all conservatives. In addition to politics, we occasionally talk about other subjects of interest to us, just for fun: popular music, soccer, beauty pageants, etc. How do you plan to cover the convention? I plan to report on what is going on on the convention floor, my impressions of the speakers, my observations on off-floor events and rumors, and whatever political information I can pick up from delegates, fellow bloggers, radio hosts and reporters. I will try to interview the most interesting people I can and pass on what they have to say. Why should people read your coverage? It will be interesting for readers to hear from someone who is on the scene. I also will be reporting with a clear point of view. I am a conservative who enthusiastically supports Bush's re-election. And my reports will be up-to-the-minute. People who are used to getting news and commentary from blogs tend to think that other media lag way behind the news cycle. I will try to mix in a little humor when I can. What's the biggest gap in convention coverage by mainstream media in prior election years? A lack of conservative perspective. I also think the focus tends to be too much on the stage. The delegates tend to be treated as if they were a live studio audience. In my experience, most delegates are knowledgeable, interesting people. I plan to spend quite a bit of time talking to them, taking the party's pulse, so to speak, and getting their perspective on how the race shapes up in their states. Moment/speaker/event you're most looking forward to covering. The president's speech. It could turn out to be a historic occasion. I can't wait. What did you learn about blogging a convention from the Boston coverage? It was a little disappointing. It seemed that there was too much about the bloggers and not enough about the convention. Which presidential candidate do you plan to vote for in November? I will vote and campaign for Bush.
[Margolis]

Matt Margolis, 24, graduate student and architectural designer, Beverly, Mass. Blogs for Bush24. Describe your blog briefly. A grassroots Web site dedicated to re-electing George W. Bush, launched last Nov. 4 and uniting over 800 bloggers. How do you plan to cover the convention? I will do a lot more than just type blog entries all day reacting to what I see and hear. I want to engage delegates, guests, and surrogates for interviews. Readers can expect regular blogging throughout the day. I also plan to post audio content and photos from the convention to enhance my coverage for my readers. Why should people read your coverage? I plan to convey the real feel of the convention from the floor to my readers in a way traditional media can't. Representing Blogs For Bush, I feel I am also going to represent the entire pro-Bush blog community that has united on my site. Because of that, I am giving them the opportunity to participate by submitting questions to potential interviewees. I want to not only bring the convention to my readers, but I want to bring my readers to the convention. What's the biggest gap in convention coverage by mainstream media in prior election years? I don't know. I really wasn't that interested in politics before George W. Bush inspired me to get involved. Moment/speaker/event you're most looking forward to covering. I'm looking forward to seeing George W. Bush speak the most. I think it will be an incredible moment in history and I look forward to being there to witness it. What did you learn about blogging a convention from the Boston coverage? I learned that bloggers need to take the opportunity seriously and focus on covering the convention, not on themselves. Bloggers need to remember that it is opportunity and a responsibility. Which presidential candidate do you plan to vote for in November? I will proudly vote for George W. Bush.
[Morrissey]

Edward Morrissey, aka "Captain Ed," 41, customer-service manager and part-time radio talk show host, Eagan, Minn. Captain's Quarters.25 Describe your blog briefly. Captain's Quarters regularly reviews media coverage of political, cultural, and entertainment events from a center-right perspective. My emphasis is on analysis and timeliness. As anyone who hopes to be successful in the blogosphere must do, I strive to provide original, thoughtful, and well-written analysis. How do you plan to cover the convention? I plan on covering the media coverage, primarily, although I also hope to interview some of the people at the convention to provide a sense of those who are there. I anticipate that the mainstream media outlets will be spinning away at the RNC, and I believe one of the primary obligations of the bloggers will be to point out where they factually jump the rails. I'll also analyze what I think works, what I think doesn't, and predict how the convention will be received. Why should people read your coverage? I'm hoping that my coverage will be well-written, entertaining, insightful, and timely. What's the biggest gap in convention coverage by mainstream media in prior election years? I think the biggest gap in coverage comes from the shrinking attention that conventions get from mainstream media outlets. Some of that has to do with greater control exercised by the parties over content, some of it has to do with the lack of drama ... some of it just because the American attention span does not integrate well with the continuous oratory ... I think that the media just feels like that's easier to do with stories about Britney Spears than Bush and Kerry. Moment/speaker/event you're most looking forward to covering I'm honestly more interested in the second-tier speakers at the convention, the younger Republican officeholders, to get a good view of the GOP "bench." Obviously the President's acceptance speech holds the most import for this election. What did you learn about blogging a convention from the Boston coverage? First, I think the Boston bloggers got a bit of a bad rap. They were the first to try it, and we saw what didn't work. Now the key will be to provide meat-and-potatoes coverage and not just the "Oooh, I saw Ben Affleck" type of posting that they felt their readers would appreciate. Which presidential candidate do you plan to vote for in November? George Bush, and enthusiastically.

Alan Nelson, 35, consultant, Philadelphia. The Command Post26. Describe your blog briefly. News and perspectives posted by 120+ bloggers around the world. How do you plan to cover the convention? "Straight news" reporting without left- or right-spin. Plenty of coverage on the ethos of the event. And coverage of the coverage: part of Command Post's appeal has been our willingness to include the media as part of the story, and we'll do the same at the RNC. Finally, as one of the few bloggers to attend both conventions, we plan to cover the differences between the two. Why should people read your coverage? We'll be posting without interjecting heavy doses of opinion, and we'll be "triangulating" the story with news items posted by dozens of bloggers all around the world. What's the biggest gap in convention coverage by mainstream media in prior election years? An unwillingness to simply show or tell the story without attempting to interpret, analyze, or critique. A gap for the networks: an unwillingness to devote more than 180 minutes to the event. Moment/speaker/event you're most looking forward to covering. Massive crowds with oppressive security in New York in August should be story enough, don't you think? But seriously, the acceptance speeches, of course. Also the operations of the convention: how the delegates work, the operations, and how the press covers the event. And the differences in same between the DNC and RNC. What did you learn about blogging a convention from the Boston coverage? That otherwise normal people (in this case, bloggers), when subjected to intense media attention, quickly develop professional-level media training. If you're going to be lucky enough to go, you better retroactively earn your place through hard work. Stop people on the street. Blog from bars. Get to the hall early. Blog from your room late. Five million blogs ... 30 people credentialed. Be worth it. Treat the "real" media seriously and with respect (but not deference). They're working harder than you, and many had to slave a beat for years before earning the right to cover a convention. Blogging is a hobby, reporting is a job. Which presidential candidate do you plan to vote for in November? I believe it's the right of every citizen to keep their political preferences private, and I think I'll do so. But thanks for asking.
[Reich]

Brian Reich, 26, strategic consultant and director of Boston operations for Mindshare Interactive Campaigns, Cambridge, Mass. Campaign Web Review27. Describe your blog briefly. CWR examines the use of the Internet in politics. How do you plan to cover the convention? What kind of content can readers expect? I'm going to look at how the candidates, party, organizations, and media use the Internet in relation to the convention -- what they write about, what initiatives they launch, what special coverage they produce (such as Hardball's blog, or ABC News's 24-hour Web coverage) for the Web. Also, I am going to look at what coverage is given to the online efforts specifically, for example who is writing about the bloggers and what are they saying. Why should people read your coverage? CWR is the only blog focused specifically on how candidates, campaigns and organizations, activists and the media are using the Web. What's the biggest gap in convention coverage by mainstream media in prior election years? Real behind-the-scenes coverage -- the personalities of the volunteers that make the show happen, the speechwriters, the drivers, the pages, etc. It doesn't always have to be about the big-name consultants -- there are thousands of people who make the show happen. Moment/speaker/event you're most looking forward to covering. I'm going to cover those who participate in activities online -- chats, photo-blogging, other bloggers, etc. I'd like to see President Bush or Vice President Cheney participate in an online chat the day of their speech, but I'm not holding my breath. What did you learn about blogging a convention from the Boston coverage? Bloggers were one of the biggest stories of the convention in Boston, and it was interesting to observe how bloggers responded while under the microscope. The Democratic bloggers performed extremely well -- and provided a much-needed analysis to the proceedings. I hope that the press covers the Republicans in the same way, and I expect the Republican bloggers to respond equally well. Which presidential candidate do you plan to vote for in November? CWR is nonpartisan (hopefully). I am a Democrat and I will vote for Senator Kerry in November.
[Sala]

Scott Sala, 34, Internet consultant, New York, Slant Point28. Describe your blog briefly. SlantPoint.com is biased media. I'm Republican and I say so right off the bat, so you know what you are getting. My blog covers all things political, with a nice mix of NYC topics included. I don't just echo the party, but follow my beliefs which can be described as an Urban Republican -- a conservative living in a metropolis. How do you plan to cover the convention? Being credentialed for the convention means access, pure and simple ... I'll be a wild political animal rather than a political pet. Political Pets wait to be fed information -- the pre-arranged programs, staged speeches, calculated invites. Wild Animals find food on their own, using their instincts and their senses. Expect the unexpected. Why should people read your coverage? If you're looking for hourly updates, microinterviews and a discerning eye for The Little Story That Could, read SlantPoint.com. The RNC has one highly-orchestrated Republican message it wants to send to America. My message too will be Republican, but not just for America -- I aim to change NYC itself. The Belly of the Beast is due for a nice chunk of antacid. What's the biggest gap in convention coverage by mainstream media in prior election years? How should I know? These things have notoriously been boring, so who was paying attention? The public only cares or has time to watch the keynote speakers, and as for the rest of the convention, the media covers it like they cover delegates -- all that is shown are the weird ones wearing 37 buttons and Uncle Sam hats. Those who read blogs will want to know what happens play-by-play. Moment/speaker/event you're most looking forward to covering. If I said so, the competition would be all over it. What did you learn about blogging a convention from the Boston coverage? That the big media wants to make a story out of us bloggers, and bloggers wasted a lot of their time feeding that. I have as hard of a time refusing publicity as anyone else, but we have a job to do. Second, blogs are about immediacy and unexpected angles. When the DNC bloggers spend half their day at conferences and all night at parties, and the rest of the time covering what the big media was covering, they broke the golden rule. Which presidential candidate do you plan to vote for in November? George W. Bush
[Sheinin]

Karol Sheinin, 27, political consultant, New York. Spot On29 and Dean's World30. Describe your blog briefly. My blog [Spot On] is mostly political but I write about anything from poker to indie music. Dean Esmay's blog is one of the bigger ones and definitely one of the best. How do you plan to cover the convention? I'm going to try, as I guess all the other bloggers will, to get behind the scenes and try to get a feel for what is going on when there is no "official" press around. Why should people read your coverage? I grew up in Brooklyn and I live in Manhattan now so I'll have a local perspective. What's the biggest gap in convention coverage by mainstream media in prior election years? The biggest problem with mainstream media is also the best thing about blogging. Big media can write a story about one aspect of the convention, it'll go to a fact-checker then an editor and be published long after it is written. I can write about events as they happen or very shortly thereafter. I can tell readers a four-sentence story about something funny that happened in the elevator. The mainstream press would have to find an "angle" or, well, a point, other than that it's funny. Moment/speaker/event you're most looking forward to covering. I'm not sure if he's speaking though I've heard rumors that he is, but I can't wait to hear Herman Cain. I worked for him down in Georgia and he'll bring the house down at MSG if they give him a speaking slot. Otherwise, I guess the president will do. I'm also looking forward to the Club for Growth parties. What did you learn about blogging a convention from the Boston coverage? That it's easier than it seems to get caught up in the excitement of being around fellow partisans and forget to find something interesting to write about. Which presidential candidate do you plan to vote for in November? Bush.
[Simon]

Roger L. Simon, 60, mystery novelist and screenwriter, Los Angeles. Roger L. Simon.31 Describe your blog briefly. My blog began in spring 2003 to promote my new novel "Director's Cut." ... But a lifelong left-liberal, I had started drifting away from the faith after 9/11 and began blogging about my new politics. How do you plan to cover the convention? I'm not sure. I will write about what appeals to me at the time. But I would like to interview individual man-or-woman-on-the-street delegates (the kind overlooked by MSM [mainstream media]) to see what they're thinking. Why should people read your coverage? I try to be as honest as I can and admit my biases out front, unlike many in the media. Also, I was a lifelong Democrat, now an independent... favor gay marriage AND the War on Terror (militantly), as an example. So I have no interest in party-line politics in the traditional sense, and think it is outmoded in the post-9/11 era. What's the biggest gap in convention coverage by mainstream media in prior election years? The conventions have increasingly become exercises in propaganda with almost no content. For the most part the mainstream media cooperate in this charade. It's an old and boring game. Something new is necessary. Maybe blogs can help, but I'm not sure how. Moment/speaker/event you're most looking forward to covering. Arnold! Not only is he my governor, he's the first Republican I ever voted for. He also reflects what I think is the center of American politics today -- strong foreign policy, fiscally conservative, socially liberal. I'd back him for president if he could run, which as we all know he can't. And I bet he'd win, too. What did you learn about blogging a convention from the Boston coverage? Hugh Hewitt always has interesting things to say. And I enjoyed the humor of Matt Welch and Tim Blair at Reason. But all three of those people are excellent writers who often write for the MSM. Hell, I've written for the [New York Times, Washington Post and Los Angeles Times] ... so does that make us so different? Well, this time we're writing without editors and with quick immediacy. That can be interesting -- the Japanese Zen brush painting of journalism. But as with all writing, it's only as good as the writer. Which presidential candidate do you plan to vote for in November? Bush. First time ever for a Republican, but, hey, there's a war on and it seems the Democrats haven't grasped that.
[Trevino]

Josh Trevino, 29, global health consultant, Frederick, Md. Tacitus32. Describe your blog briefly. A community Web log that was founded in fall 2002 to give me an outlet for profoundly uninformed comment on every subject under the sun. It has since evolved to allow other worthy individuals of all ideologies the opportunity to hold forth in a somewhat more informed manner on mostly political and cultural topics. How do you plan to cover the convention? We're going to try to line up interviews, give behind-the-scenes coverage, and convey the look and feel of events that readers may not get from television. Why should people read your coverage? Simply put, the three of us can put out some truly compelling writing. We are -- in terms of pure writing craft -- about the best blogging team there is. And we know our subject matter first-hand. What's the biggest gap in convention coverage by mainstream media in prior election years? The failure to show all the convention, and not just the highlights. I rather doubt the Dems would be riding so high in the polls now if America had seen all the lefty nuttiness that transpired in Boston last month. At least CSPAN came through. Moment/speaker/event you're most looking forward to covering. The only thing that really matters: the President's address. It may not make his campaign, but it could break it. What did you learn about blogging a convention from the Boston coverage? The Boston blogger coverage added almost nothing to my understanding of events. We're hoping to do better. Which presidential candidate do you plan to vote for in November? George W. Bush.
