Drafty Around Here

This blog has previously suggested drafting Andrew Northrup as a needed, entertaining voice of moderation

One thing that continually energizes the right and left are the presence of prominent figures in the media who offer some kind of ongoing entertainment centered on their political views.

Thus, the right has Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Bill O'Reilly, and Dr. Laura. The left has Bill Moyers, Jon Stewart, Al Franken, Michael Moore, and Harry Shearer.

These guys take politics into the entertainment realm -- making it palatable, at a minimum, to a core audience of receptive viewers/listeners, and probably exposing millions of other casual listeners as well.

Now, Andrew, aka The Poorman, is a lending his edgey voice to the effort by the Clarksphere to draft the general.
