June 10, 2009
The more time that I spend mapping the social relationships of legislators via their copatroning habits, the more fascinated that I am by this mechanism of exploring the General Assembly.

In 44 years of covering politics as a journalist or working inside the system as a political operative I've watched elected officials pull a lot of stupid stunts. Poindexter...
