The Washington Bubble versus the Hub of the Universe

Dear Dave Wiegel,

You are inside the beltway and inside the bubble. We live at the Hub of the Universe.

Here at the Hub of the Universe there is no "fairly obscure blog." There is however, UniversalHub. As Tom Friedman once said, "suck on that." He actually said "Suck on this" but you know what I mean.

[size=12]Scott Brown: Help Me Defeat Rachel Maddow, Who Might Run Against Me, According to Twitter[/size]

The campaign of Sen. Scott Brown (R-Mass.), who’s got less of a cash problem than almost anyone running for office in 2012 (he has millions left over from his special election bid), points to a fairly obscure blog to stoke fears that MSNBC host Rachel Maddow is being recruited to oppose him.

But seriously, thank you for covering the story. It's web sites like yours that deliver substantive political news without the right-wing spin we get so often from Politico, Washington Post, Washington Times, and others. I (We) appreciate your work.

One more thing, please. If you can figure out why Democratic Congressman Rep. Stephen Lynch (MA-9) voted against health reform, please write a quick post about it. This may be the Hub of the Universe but that decision is a real head-scratcher. People were walkin around here, scratching this and that, and sayin' Lynchies vote was wicked retahted.
