Inside Baseball for the Gang of 500

Yes, we're excited that the Red Sox won the pennant. But, it's still the election, stupid. And for the inside poop on that account you need The Note.

What started as an internal compilation of political intelligence for the ABC News Political Unit is now a must read for the "Gang of 500," the journalists and politicos behind electoral machinations.

The New Yorker has a great profile of ABC News Political Unit Director Mark Halperin and the band of Googling Monkeys that produce the Note. The piece addresses the sometimes cryptic nature of the Note and its influence in the electoral process. A must read for my multimedia journalism class, as it illustrates the influence of blogs.

Also of interest: Talking Points Memo
