My apologies for not posting in a while. Things have been pretty busy at work. Plus, I'm writing about politics full time for my job, so it can sap all of my creative juices to write about those topics. Bottom line, if you want to read more of my ramblings on politics, sign up for the DSCC mailing list.

The good news is that I really feel like my job is one of the best ways I can help make a difference. The simple truth is elections matter.

Take the Roberts nomination, the most prominent politic news of the recent past. Barring some new and shocking revelation that guy is going to get approved for the bench, no matter how much my old friends at PFAW scream and yell. He'll bring his conservative ideology to bear on the Court for the next 30 years.

If John Kerry gets elected last year, John Roberts never gets nominated. If, in 2006, we take back the Senate, the next John Roberts dies in committee. So, I've set out to help make sure we can do just that.

Bottom line, the Supreme Court is all about elections. And there's not a whole lot else to say about it.
