Lame title, I know. But check out this great article in the recent New Yorker on Mr. Obama. Warning: weekly Barack updates from this point forward.

I couldn't get the link to work. Is there a trick?
OK Sistuh,
I got an English degree because I want to sit in a coffee house and wear black and read and not worry about the state of the world around me (figuratively speaking). However, I am starting to read up a bit on your candidate. Where is a good place to get a concise picture of his political standing?
link don't work
Have you heard of "copy and paste" :):) I can't seem to get my blogger account to allow me to create hyperlinks, so you are obligated to do it the old fashioned way.
DRH,
I really think the best place to find out a candidates stance on political issues is to go straight to the source. First check out his campaign website (located on the right of my blog), visit his Senate website if you want to see what he has been doing, he has a podcast on iTunes, the Chicago Tribune carries regular features on him (as he is a Senator from Illinois), if you ever listen to audiobooks I can send you a copy of his book, "The Audacity of Hope" which lays a good foundation for WHO he is and his basic political principles (it doesn't have major platform info). Then, when you are ready...make a little contribution (again, link on the right side of my blog!)
