The National Journal recently asked me to participate in a blog polling project during the convention. I’m not sure why they asked me to participate, perhaps they’re big fans of Freud?
Look at who else is included–I’m like the kid playing with blocks on the living room floor listening while the grown-ups talk politics amongst themselves. How on earth did I get included in a list of “leading political bloggers?” Oh well, it’s too late for them to kick me off the list now so I’m taking full advantage by recording it forever online below. You can read the results of the first poll here. Subsequent poll results will appear on the National Journal’s Conventions 2008 site .

I refuse to believe the editors there are that stupid.
I think you have to hate the internet.
