For the past six months or so, I’ve crisscrossed the country, posting to Stumper three, four or five times a times a day. But with an unprecedented five weeks until the next primary in the midst of a titanic nomination fight that won’t end anytime soon, I figured this would be my last chance to take a little vacation. For the rest of the week, then, I’ll contribute the Filter each morning and the occasional item thereafter. I’ll definitely pop back in if some big news breaks. But otherwise, I plan to calmly step away from my keyboard and seek treatment for my debilitating case of bloggeritis.
Stumper, however, will go on. The brilliant Holly Bailey–NEWSWEEK’s White House correspondent and John McCain embed–will take the reins, overseeing an impressive roster of the magazine’s best political reporters as they continue to do the good work of keeping you in the Election 2008 loop. You probably won’t even want me to come back.
Happy trails, Andrew
