Whether you are a political junkie or a casual follower of politics, you'll likely find some news and information of interest in our new Politics section, accessible from the main navigation bar at the top of each page.

We are posting both local and national stories, so you'll find information about the Jim Black campaign finance hearings and the Vice President's accidental shooting of his friend during a quail hunt.

We also offer a calendar of events, links to local election boards and major political parties, and a list of local political blogs.
