Pixie Politics

The political season in the United States is finally headed for the home stretch as this 20-month 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 combines existing information in the context of the author’s particular point of view.  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 likely to be one of those that get lost in the stream of internet blogs because the author is not a journalist, not a politico, not a pundit, 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, the author hopes to become a more educated voter by election day.  Perhaps it will serve that purpose for others too.  Hopefully, there will be comments and discussion that will contribute to education on the issues and candidates. 

The author of this blog uses the name WebPixie for most internet communication.  The WebPixie lives in the center of a state that is in the center of the United States.

Please add your comments to help further the author’s education about the upcoming election, and that of the other few readers of this blog.
