Not likely.
I’m a campaign junkie. I write about politics all the time, so most of my time is spent talking about policy and actions, but I really live for the campaign trail. Now that it’s over, there’s been something missing in my life.
So when I stumbled across a mention of 08: A Graphic Diary of the Campaign Trail, I was beyond thrilled. By Dan Goldman and The New Republic‘s Michael Crowley, 08 is:
Taking its cue from campaign classics like Fear and Loathing on the Campaign Trail ’72 and The Making of the President series, 08 brings politico journalism into the graphic novel form.
There’s nothing I love more than passionate, thoughtful political writing and comics. Blending the two? Win. Bonus points for art that actually looks like Barack Obama, unlike another recent graphic depiction…
I can’t wait to read it. Hits stores this Wednesday. (Also, at the site linked, you can download a free excerpt.)

They had me at the mention of Fear & Loathing on the Campaign Trail ’72… Lookng forward to it.
Oh, and keep it up Sarah… Don’t let anyone get on your case for writing about politics.

Hopefully this thing will be better than those incredibly lame Mccain/Obama comics that came out last year.

Superb blog! Do you have any helpful hints for aspiring writers? I’m planning to start my own site soon but I’m a little lost on everything. Would you recommend starting with a free platform like WordPress or go for a paid option? There are so many options out there that I’m completely overwhelmed .. Any tips? Bless you!
