Atlantic Monthly on Fighting Dems

Posted by DavidNYC

Josh Green, writing in the Atlantic Monthly, has a piece up on veterans running for Congress as Dems. One thing he does, which I had not yet seen, is put the current phenomenon in historical context. Veterans have a long tradition of running for office, something which ebbed only after Vietnam. What's happening today is not an abberation but rather a return to that noble tradition of service.

(Via Hotline On Call.)

UPDATE: Grr. The original link I got from Hotline led to a full version of the article. Atlantic has asked me not to use that link - the new link instead goes to a truncated version (full version for subscribers only). I know that sort of thing is frustrating, and consequently I very rarely link to articles that are behind subscription firewalls. I wouldn't have done so in this case had I realized the problem. My apologies.

Well, they probably noticed the amount of traffic on their site coming from this site.

Great idea then, huh? "Hey, guys! We're getting traffic!" "Really? Better put a stop to that!"

Kos posted to the same link and hasn't changed it- I also used it. Guess the cats outta the bag- too bad they picked on your post...

They picked on Markos, too. His preference was to stick with the old link - mine was to explain how unfriendly Atlantic was being to the blogosphere.
