GJ’s hardest-working blogger
There are a lot of bloggers in this town, but the hardest-working one of the bunch is Mike Saccone, our political writer.
He takes his blog, “Political Notebook,” as seriously as he takes his job covering the political scene in Colorado. It’s become must reading for anyone in Colorado who’s interested in what politicians are up to.
And that, apparently, judging from the number of visitors he gets every week, is a sizable number. Lately he’s been the leading Daily Sentinel blogger. He consistently gets double the number of visitors that I get. It’s not difficult to see why. Rarely does a day go by when he doesn’t post at least a couple of times. Rarely does a week go by when I post more than a couple of times.
I say all of this to draw attention to “Political Notebook” today. It’s a fascinating and insightful look into what Mike worked on most of yesterday. In today’s print edition of The Daily Sentinel he has a story about Republican Senate candidate Bob Schaffer’s involvement securing contracts with the Iraqi Kurdistan for an energy company and the fact that the U.S. State Department considers such contracts not in Iraq’s best interest.
You can read the story in the paper, but you can see all of his source material and hear an interview with Schaffer only by clicking on “Political Notebook.”
Take a look. You can see how one hard-working reporter and blogger practices his craft.

Just in the interest of full disclosure, what blog has, up until the last two months, received the highest numbers of readers? And still beats yours?
