Has technology ruined the political debate? Richard Reeves wrote a great Op-Ed regarding the “new” behavior of Washington Politicians in a world of blackberries, twitteratti, and nonstop news coverage.

Who would have thought New York’s 23rd District would be all the rage in election circles? An area that has voted “mainly” Republican (except Liberal Bastion St. Lawrence County) since the Civil War is now up for grabs by a Democrat!
