Do you know the politics of your town?

I generally avoid national politics. Just perusing the forums here will show you why.

Then again, I make a living in local politics, so I can tell you every sordid detail about my small blue-collar town.

I'm amazed about how many people can prattle on about predicting the breakdown of the House & Senate after Election Day, but they have no idea who their councilmember or Mayor are. I guess that the disintegration of local newspapers and the preponderance of garish crime and celebrity bulletins on TV stations has focused the public's energies differently. Local issues will effect your daily routine far more than any obtuse shout-fest that the cable news stations are obsessing over that day.

Hear hear!
