Watchers Council – Pre-Election Matters

Pre-Election

Each week, in a contest for the week’s best post, the members of the Watchers Council nominate one of their own posts and a second from outside the Council for consideration by other council members. This week’s nominations got posted just as the Scott Brown victory was sinking in, giving me an excuse to embed the best Daily Show clip ever since the last best Daily Show clip ever. This is the one from the night before the election and if you haven’t seen it yet, by all means enjoy. This week’s nominations are right afterward.
