Welcome

Welcome to Pixie Politics.

The political season in the United States is finally headed for the home stretch as the 20-month-plus presidential campaign season winds to a close.  Political blogs have held a predominant role since the concept of web logs was introduced.  Other than the perspective of the author, it’s unlikely that this web log will offer a lot of new information about the candidates.  Like many blogs, it will combine existing information in the context of the author’s day-to-day life.

The perspecive of the author is what makes any blog unique whether the information presented is original or not.  Most political blogs get lost in the stream of the thousands of political blogs that exist on the internet.  This blog is also likely to get lost in the stream because the author is not a journalist, not a politico, and not a writer with any professional training to speak of.  I am voter.  My family votes.  Most of my friends vote.

This blog will create a space for the author to process the information released by the presidential campaigns and the interpretations that gain my attention.  By creating this space, hopefully, the author will become a more educated voter by election day.  Perhaps it will serve that purpose for others too.
