This one could get interesting. JSOnline mashed together 4 Milwaukee-area Legislators, 2 from each house, 2 from each party, and stuck them on the same blog called Backroom Blog. Representing the elephant are Sen. Neal Kedzie (11th Senate District-Elkhorn) and Rep. Leah Vukmir (14th Assembly District-Wauwatosa). Representing the donkey are Sen. Jeff Plale (7th Senate District-South Milwaukee) and Rep. Jason Fields (11th Assembly District-Milwaukee).
I’m keeping an eye on this one, especially since we’re already starting on the beanballs. You should too, unless you don’t like sausage-making.
One message to the JSOnline folks; please do a better job on the RSS feeds. The current set of feeds, when they’re working, do not link properly to internal links (likely because you guys are using relative rather than absolute addresses), don’t offer links to individual posts (which makes it nigh impossible to link back to you) and don’t have any real formatting. When they’re not working (which is way too often), the attempts at formatting and linking result in the code followed by the HTML for >, and the feeds fail to validate and parse.
