Coverage of Rep. Jim Ramstad retirement and Q&A
Monday, September 17th, 2007My coverage is up at The Uptake.
I would like to add that the reactions coming in from all sides are not the usual “We honor Rep. XXX’s years of public service…” boilerplate press releases. Rep. Ramstad was that rare politician: he said what he was going to do and then he did it. He had more creditability among Democrats the any other Minnesotan Republican.
As for the coverage itself - it was ok. Due to the short notification of the announcement most of the A-list vloggers and equipment was otherwise occupied. I had to rush to the scene with inadequate battery charge, tripod and audio equipment. Even so - coverage quality at The Uptake is only going to get better by leaps and bounds. Watch out for it.
