Election Race Diary Roundup
This is an attempt to compile a fairly comprehensive listing of election-related diaries that have recently been posted. Most of them are House or Senate races but there are also some local ones, as well as the occasional 'general info' diary.
This Roundup Diary covers the period from 12:01 AM Sunday, 8/27 to 7:00 AM EDT Monday, 8/28. (Note - in an effort to get up-to-date, I have not yet posted diaries from Saturday, 8/27. I'll try to work those in in upcoming days.)
Reminder - If you are doing a diary on a specific race, particularly a House or Senate race, please, please, PLEASE, put the race number (or XX-Sen) at the beginning of the diary header. I can't tell you how much easier it makes when sifting through hundreds of diaries, and it would be a shame to miss some important ones.
If you wish to volunteer to help with this project, please email me. (Once again, much love to Nightprowlkitty, Alma, pattyp, Patriot Daily, Selah and suejazz!)
(Yes, this is a lot of work, but it seems that all of us are actually enjoying it. Find a candidate or race you knew nothing about and show him or her some love, and then tell us about it! It would mean a lot.)
