South Carolina, Rahm Emanuel, and Feed Issues
I’m on the road, heading to Florida for a break (Molly and Greta will join me this weekend). Tonight, I passed through Florence, South Carolina, which was the first place I volunteered for the Obama campaign. So I took time out from the twelve hour driving slog to pass by the house that served as the Obama office during the January primary. It’s now empty and (not surprising given Florence’s economy) for rent.
I find it hard to believe that South Carolina was less than ten months ago, and that when it happened, nobody really knew whether Hillary or Obama would win the nomination, and that Edwards still had a marginal chance. What an amazing run it’s been.
Believe it or not, I do plan to spend a lot less time blogging over the next two weeks. So I won’t be offering much commentary on transition issues. I will say this, however: I’m surprised that none of the wingnuts has noted that Obama, who they so derisively call “The One,” chose Emmanuel Emanuel as his chief of staff.
One other note: we seem to be having a problem with the Feedburner feed — at least I am. It’s not showing up in my Google Reader. If you use Reader or another RSS aggregator, please tell us in the comments below whether you’re still getting Undip.
A big thank you (again) to Midwest McGarry for pitching in while I’m gone.
