We're going to be kicking off the mutual guest blogging next Monday, with participation from Pam's House Blend, Jack and Jill Politics, Orcinus, and Shakespeare's Sister on the topic of "feminist and womanist perspectives on Hillary Clinton's withdrawal from the race -- and why this matters to progressives". Something to look forward to!
And it's mutual: several of the bloggers have invited OpenLeft front pagers to post on their blogs as well. We still need to work out the details of this. If any front-pagers reading this have a post they'd like to make on the topic, please say so in the comments.
As the astute observers on this site have no doubt noticed, we haven't had the vote yet on followon topics. As an experiment, we didn't put the nominatino thread on the front page ... and it didn't get any action. Oh well, live and learn. And this week, with all the stuff going on with FISA, it felt like it wouldn't have gotten much attention.
Speaking of FISA though ... wouldn't that be a good topic for mutual guest-blogging?
Why yes, it very well might! And if we decided to do it now, we could probably manage to get something in place for the week of July 14. No matter on how thing go in the Senate next week, this will be a great time to discuss "lessons learned" and "what next".
Yeah, yeah, this is completely ignoring the process we originally discussed. Because of the timelines and importance of the issue, tt still might be worth doing -- we can then follow up with the topics on the original list.
What do others think? Please vote in the poll; and add in comments, including any suggestions for guest-bloggers if we do decide to go this route.
