The Richmond Report

At last, a real, professional Virginian blogger takes the field. This is The Richmond Report by Washington Post Richmond reporter Michael Shear (and, occasionally, his co-worker Rosalind Helderman). This blog was announced just after the November elections; it kind of crawled through December; but it seems to have heated up along with the new session of the General Assembly. Although I think the Richmond Times-Dispatch has generally done a fine job covering the General Assembly, they haven't put a lot of effort into web updates. Hopefully the Post's new efforts will push the Times-Dispatch political reporters into the ranks of professional bloggers as well.
