Political Coverage: Opportunity knocks a third time

First, political web publication PAJAMAS MEDIA recruited so many journalists that they even gave geezer me a crack at freelancing [am still there on contract.]  Then Bloomberg hired 100 journalists for the D.C. beat.  And today, on JournalismJobs.com, Politico, which took on WAPO, has multiple ads for beats like healthcare and energy.

Obviously, writers aiming to make a name for themselves, never mind making a living, will get some political clips in their portfolio.  After the midterms, there's Campaign 2012.
