While the impetus for starting this blog certainly was the 2008 presidential election, it is not our intention that with the election finished, so should our blog be.
That said, it is not entirely clear how we should proceed. Some readers I talk to enjoy having the regularity of a daily one-stop shop for political news, the central pieces of which are the morning and afternoon clip blasts. Others want our sometimes snarky - once in a while informative - analysis, which is basically news filtered through the magical two lib dudes prism. Not nearly as regular, but still dubiously useful. One reader who has spent too much time around Law Dude and Education Dude wants us to publish the offline arguments we have with one another, which sometimes yield both entertainment and information. (Most recently: does there exist an objective reality? Law Dude - yes! Education Dude - no!)
In the interest of keeping you folks reading and engaged, let's use the comments for suggestions. What do YOU want to see from this blog? Coverage of the presidential transition? Tracking major legislation in the new congress? The earliest daily coverage of the 2012 presidential election in the blogosphere? Let us know! Feel free to be as prescriptive as you want ... for instance: "I want to see one daily roundup of important political news and thrice weekly essays on animal rights legislation." You are a small and loyal following, so we might actually take your advice! It's not like living in DC or Utah ... your vote counts!

I want to know what you dudes think about this: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/11/10/obama-plans-guantanamo-cl_n_142593.html
Both dudes could weigh in (or fight offline) but I'm surprised Law Dude hasn't already posted on it...
I think that the regular 'link blasts,' combined with the twice-or-thrice a week essay-style posts is a really good combination. That's what I would vote for.
