The Capitol Fax Blog

[JohMunich99]

Hey just found DU, I usually surf over at Capitol Fax Blog and Illinoize. I was wondering if any of you are familiar with the website. It seems like there is very little crossover between the two websites. Capitol Fax Blog seems to have more Republicans than Democrats at times but it's a good place to check out news around the state. Anyway, thought I would pop in and say hello. Let's hear some more talk about state politics on this board. I see very few posts about statewide and local races.

1. i pop in once in a while

a great site for local news story links. you are correct about the rightie slant, tho.

5. Well perhaps we should get some DUers to start posting more often

Rich, the guy who controls it, is balanced. But the conservative posters outweigh the liberal ones.

8. Capitolfax fan here

I like CapitolFax! I think Rich is pretty balanced and amusingly snarky. I don't mind mixing with righties now and again.
