I’m talking at the Putney Debates tonight

The topic is ‘Change at the Top: How the US Election Process Works and What are the Opportunities for Ron Paul?’

My audience will mostly be British so it’s mostly about explaining just how decentralized the U.S. electoral system is. Because anyone turning up is likey to be a Libertarian, I shall be concentrating on Ron Paul’s campaign and what he can realistically hope to achieve. I shall try to post a summary of the talk somewhere. Details from the LA Blog.

10,000 not out

Last week I hit 10,000 hits on Antoine Clarke’s Election Watch.

It’s a milestone. And I’m happy about it. I once set up a newspaper with a circulation of less than 100, so a trickle of readers does not bother me.

I realize that the key to better visibility is more writing, more often. It took from 13 July 2004 to 17 January 2007 to hit the 10k mark (visitor #6,969). We shall see how long it takes to hit 25k.

Blogroll…but

I’ve got my elections blogroll [see sidebar], but I can’t do others for my other areas.

My Clippings: Live

You wouldn’t believe how long it’s taken… but it’s finally live. My news aggregator clippings can finally appear on my blog. Now all I need is to figure out how to display them by category.

Welcome to my blog

The reason I’ve started this blog is to provide me with one platform for all my postings, on blogs and elsewhere.

I shall also be using the blogroll feature and splitting my writing into categories: elections, health policy, politics, interesting stuff I come across.
