For all of the bloggers popping up covering Illinois Politics, our ambassador to the regular world is Eric Zorn who appeared on WBEZ’s 848 last Friday. He gave Polis, Oneman, me, and others some great press which is very much appreciated. While I don’t mention it often, 848 is one of the better news sources for political junkies taking political reporters from around the state and getting them to chat about the news of the day.
One minor thing about Eric’s discussion–I was blogging the 2002 General Election so this is my second big election. But his point is correct that overall this is the first major Illinois election with significant blogger attention.
Of course, my projections for that one were nearly as bad as this one.
