I haven’t blogged much in the past day or two as I’ve been deeply immersed in the getting the new website up. We’ve still got more features to go as well as some new graphics and layout, but I’m pretty happy with what we’ve done so far. For all you Safari users, I know there’s a bug with the layout of the Recent Episodes and I’m working on it. I’d be remiss if I didn’t thank Dylan Kuhn for his wonderful GeoMashup plugin that makes this whole thing possible. Hopefully I didn’t destroy too much in hacking it to work on our site.
We just did a good interview with CT State Democratic Party Chair Nancy DiNardo. She gave us a good outline of the state of Connecticut politics that will add some color to our interviews with Dianne Farrell (running in the CT 4th) and as-of-yet-undetermined member of Team Lamont. Here are the boys with Nancy. Sadly I forgot to take photos at Farrell’s office as I was too busy with the video camera. PoliticsTV should be getting their first tape tomorrow.
Now a night of work and taking advantage of the hospitality of friends of friends. Expect to hear our second PA episode later tonight.
Josh did a GREAT job on the website and as you can see we now have a map tracking our every move! It’s cool, now you can watch us in real-time as the minivan rolls up the coast.
We are still trying to finalize our interview plans for tomorrow. As it stands, we have a tentative interview with Diane Farrell who is running against Chris Shays in Connecticut. This is a marquee race and we’re going to lean-in to Diane’s staff to get this interview at some point tomorrow.
We’re also going to interview Nancy DiNardo who is the Chairwoman for the Democratic Party in Connecticut. She should be an interesting interview as things in Connecticut are crazy right now in light of the Lieberman defeat.
Thank you very much to the great people we’ve seen on this leg of the journey. It’s been a fun stop and we’ll miss New York.
