A Warm Welcome...

Hello, Reader!

Welcome to McClanahan Conversation, a blog examining Rebecca McClanahan and her campaign for the 2010 Missouri District 2 election. I am a student at Truman State University participating in a class about political communication, and I am very excited to keep you up to date on the latest news along with offering my perspectives to you in quick, easy-to-read posts.

I’m Abi, and here’s my take. I don’t know about you, but I’m not one who really gets gung-ho and passionate about political races. I pay attention to candidates, listen to what they have to say, and try to make the best decision based on my outlook on life. That being said, I am absolutely in love with the political process. Having worked on two previous campaigns, I’ve had an opportunity to observe “behind the scenes” of a complex democratic process. I hope to bring a unique perspective to you from what I’ve seen.

I’m looking forward to sharing my interview with Rebecca McClanahan herself, breaking down the boundaries between voters and campaigners, and commenting on policy, campaign decisions, and relevant current events. I will be posting Tuesday evenings by 10:00!

I invite you to join me. Please feel free to post comments or e-mail me at mcclanahan.convo@gmail.com on topics you’d like to see me cover, questions you may have, or even with a supplemental viewpoint. I look forward to hearing from you! Keep in mind , I’ll be interviewing Representative McClanahan in the near future—let me know what questions you’d like me to ask.
