Since the 2006 elections, I have been so closely involved in getting more progressive legislation passed or candidates elected. There has been much money raised and spent and many grassroots and Netroots activism engaged. I was elated by the results of the 2012 cycle … and decided to take a few months off.
With the exception of DailyKos (and every nowandagain a peak at HuffPo), I have stopped reading daily political news. I cut my intake of printed news down to Newsweek magazine (even now that they’ve gone “electric”, I still consider them print. It really is a good magazine if you haven’t checked it out!). I even turned off Rachel Maddow. If you lived in my house, you’d know that she’s a staple! Even my kids think I’m in love with her! LOL.
