Did you know that the IBM Center for the Business of Government hosts a
"Presidential Transition" blog; that the Council on Foreign Relations has its own
"Transition Blog: The New Administration"; and that the American University School of Communication has a
"Transition Tracker" website? The
National Journal offers its online readers a comprehensive
"Lost in Transition" site to help them "navigate the presidential handover," including a
"short list," offering not only the president-elect's key recent appointments, but also a series of not-so-short lists of those still believed to be in contention for as-yet-unfilled jobs. Think of all this as
Entertainment Weekly married to
People Magazine for post-election political junkies.
Newsweek features "powering up" ("blogging the transition"); the policy-wonk website Politico.com offers Politico 44 ("a living diary of the Obama presidency"); and Public Citizen has "Becoming 44," with the usual lists of appointees, possible appointees, but -- for the junkie who wants everything -- "bundler transition team members" and "lobbyist and bundler appointees" as well. (For those who want to know, for instance, White House Social Secretary-designate Desiree Roberts bundled at least $200,000 for the Obama campaign.)
