Hungry for Government News
A group of Democratic and Republican political strategists have teamed together to build HotSoup.com, a social networking site aimed at creating "a new community of influence among those in government, politics, business and entertainment who make the decisions and those who want to impact them." The site isn't scheduled to officially launch until October, so it's pretty bare-bones right now. But it does have one poll question on it: "What issue or concern do you wish you heard more about from the mainstream media and your leaders?" As of this morning, the top response, with 35 percent of the vote? "Making government work." That handily beat out "The changing U.S. and global economies" (19 percent) and "Ethics/honesty in American life" (18 percent).
