Hotline TV

Hotline TV Is an original internet video show for political insiders and junkies that I've been watching for the past few weeks. Today's episode on hot candidates was pretty entertaining, if a bit glib. Their first episode after the Foley story broke is another good one. (note: there's a 30 second pre-roll ad in the video that you might want to skip)

I've watched a few and those were definitely not representative samples, just FYI.

Hotline TV is sponsored by the very wonky, very non-partisan National Journal. It's a spinoff of the Hotline blog.

Both are excellent. They should be having another scandal show soon. When it breaks, be sure to tune in.

Off-topic: Is anybody watching Amanda Congdon as she drives west across America to her new job? delmoi, did you see her interview Tom Vilsack?

On-topic: I didn't like these guys; they just seemed sleazy to me. "Katherine Harris? Oh, she's so hot, she purred into the phone, OMG" yuck says I.

But thanks for pointing them out, anyway.

Okay, I was too hasty—that hot-or-not contest is nonrepresentative, as dhartung says. The two seem to know what they're talking about. I don't know what they're talking about, but I get the sense that they do. I'll keep a weather eye on 'em and see if I learn anything. So, more sincere thanks from me, delmoi.

Wow, he thinks water is important! Fascinating. Man, I can't believe this guy thought he could run for president in '08. What a joke. (Although the idea of using farm subsidies to advance conservation is a good idea).

Vilsack is absolutely nowhere in this state. He doesn't even show up on presidential polls in this state (he's 4th behind Kerry, Hillary, and Edwards).

Yeah, it's very non-representative, but also pretty funny (IMO).
