On Friday mornings, I take a look at NewsLadder and see what's up. Last week, it was all John McCain, you might remember him, picked a VP who thinks Africa is a country and is now sitting in Arizona wondering what happened.
This week, on Wednesday, we launched the Cabinet NewsLadder to track all the news about what is happening with Barack Obama's Cabinet selections and major appointments, we knew that it would be a huge topic online, but we didn't know quite how big.
Our traffic has been great, and opinions, and votes, are pouring in from all over the world.
In 1992, President-Elect Bill Clinton, our party's last President-Elect, set about the process of picking a cabinet and, to be honest, he made some great choices. However, it's hard to imagine, but in 1992, no one was blogging about their favorites, no one was watching the prediction markets, no one was emailing their friends, hell, cell phones were new and faxes came out of the machines on long rolls.
