We've Been Fixed

Posted on 09. Apr, 2009 by Tim Kelly in SC Politics

Blogging will be a bit light on my end for the next couple of days because the Kelly clan is taking a little Easter/spring break vacation. But a few acknowledgements are in order that I didn't want to miss putting out there.

First thanks to everyone who supported, promoted, tweeted and blogged “Sanfordville.” You played as big a role in the success of the event as those who braved the wind and the cold to come out and lend your voice to calling for Mark Sanford to stop playing politics with the stimulus money. It's not often that a governor has to publicly acknowledge a demonstration like this personally, and you not only forced him to do that, but he also actually uttered the word “Sanfordville.”

A big thanks also to those of you who nominated IJ as one of SC's top political blogs on Chris Cilliza's The Fix blog on The Washington Post. Others from SC are FITSnews, Palmetto Scoop, Political Net News, Wolfe Reports and SCHotline. We're especially happy to be on that list as the only unabashedly progressive site and the only one not staffed or funded by political consultants. You can view the full 50-state list here.

Finally, though, thanks to all of you who read and contribute to IJ. We've been at this just over six months now. In my previous blogging life, it took me about two years to get to the level of visitors and readership we have here. A special thanks to Snead, Atlas and Finx as our most faithful writers. Over the next few months, we hope to add more video, liveblogging and webcasting to the site, and please let us know that else we can do to make the site better for you.
