Palin to face off against Berkowitz

I called it a while ago, but now it looks like a reality. She's going to face off against the Dems' 2008 congressional candidate, Ethan Berkowitz, who came this close to beating Don Young last year. It'll be a fight, and I'm unsure that Palin could be considered the frontrunner at this point--perhaps slightly, but this is going to be close, unless she decides not to run (which she might well do). I'd be interested to see what the polls have to say.

Problem: I have lots of opinions on politics and culture that I need to vent. If I do not do this I will wind up muttering to myself, and that's only like one or two steps away from being a hobo. Solution: I write two blogs. A political blog that has some evident sympathies (pro-Obama, mostly liberal though I dissent on some issues, like guns and trade) and a culture blog that does, well, cultural essays in a more long-form manner. My particular thing is taking overrated things (movies, mostly, but other things too) down a peg and putting underrated things up a peg. I'm sort of the court of last resort, and I tend to focus on more obscure cultural phenomena.
