Policy Wonk for Beginners

In the February issue of GQ featuring a sultry Michelle Williams spread and accompanying article, the magazine lists the 50 Most Powerful People in Washington. This list includes liberal blogger Ezra Klein (no. 34) at the Washington Post with Wonkblog and neoconservative Charles Krauthammer's (no. 45) syndicated Post column. A sidebar listing the most powerful people of the campaign season includes New York Time's blogger Nate Silver (www.fivethirtyeight.com) for his use of statistics and The Daily Show's John Stewart for satire.

Anyway, I haven't been paying too much attention to politics lately, but these are the people I'll be reading and watching in hopes of better understanding what's happening in Washington and on the campaign trail.
