Hello Everyone, Yes, yet another Blogette playlist. Little known fact: I am an insomniac and create playlists when trying to fall asleep on the road so if I create them in excess, please forgive. This playlist is a combination of what's been shuffling around my iPod at the moment. Noonday Underground's "Boy Like a Timebomb" will be stuck in your head after one listen, it's fantastic. I have been a huge fan of The Dead Milkmen since high school ever since an ex-boyfriend told me they would change my life. Other additions including Wilco and Siouxsie and the Banshees are absolute musts. Also, I have been getting my fair share of comparisons to John Cusack's character in "High Fidleity" with my obsession with creating playlists (or in his case mixed tapes) and to that I say: I am unworthy, I will never be as cool as John Cusack. :-)

We just found out that we've been nominated for a Golden Dot Award for "Best eCampaign"! It's sponsored by the Institute for Politics, Democracy & the Internet and is a pretty big deal in the political world. While we think we should have been in the political blog category, it's still a cool award and we'd be honored to have your vote. We wouldn't be here today without your support and loyalty. Thank you! Click here to cast your vote now! P.S. Thanks to everyone for the get well wishes. We'll be back on the road on Monday.

Hello everyone, While I'm not exactly a Blogette, I thought I'd give my sister, who's isn't feeling well, a break and write about being something of a campaign outsider. My name is Jack and I'm Meghan's little brother. I'm a Midshipman at the Naval Academy, studying International Relations. It's probably pretty obvious that I have nowhere near the fashion sense of my big sister. When I'm on a leave, I'm a huge fan of driving race cars and eating real Mexican food. Unfortunately, I don't get outside of the Academy much so I am following the presidential race through the blog and www.realclearpolitics.com. For those of you who don't have a permanent seat on the Straight Talk Express, I'm just like you! There have been some crazy nights at the Academy, one in particular being Super Tuesday when I was up watching campaign results until 3 a.m. only to confront a few tests the next day. While I realize this doesn't come close to the grueling pace of the campaign, there are emotional highs and lows here, just like on the trail. Because classmates live in such close proximity to each other, we all seem to share each other's frustration or elation. Aside from keeping close tabs on the campaign, I have many passions. I thought I'd make a list of "10 things you didn't know about Meghan's brother" and share some photos with you:

Hello Everyone, First of all, the traffic on the site has been out of control and is more than I ever could have possibly hoped for. Thank you to our loyal readers who continue to check out the blog and support me as the pressure and scrutiny heightens. On a personal note, I am sick as a dog. I went to the doctor today and had it confirmed. As a result, I'll be taking a few more days off the trail but plan to join the gang in Texas and Ohio. I also want to thank everyone for their patience during my downtime. I know it's more interesting to have photos documenting the everyday antics on the campaign and we're going to try and keep things interesting with a little help from my brother Jack as well!
Love,

We're thrilled with all the positive comments about our playlists. They've turned out to be a huge hit on the site and we're glad you guys love them. We've also been receiving some suggestions for music to try so we thought it might be cool to do one based on your submissions for songs and artists. Enjoy!
