One of my dearest friends from college, Jeff Mason, has mostly been in Europe since we graduated, working as a reporter for Reuters. We're very excited to find out that he's now back in the States and swept up in the '08 Primaries! Having seen him only a handful of times in the last five years, we're especially thrilled that he's been through LA *twice* in the past week. He's already filed some great stories from the political trenches. But please note that, as a consummate professional journalist and a deliberately impartial observer, he does not necessarily share the staunchly progressive viewpoints of myself or anyone else here at the Casa.

But check out his stories from the campaign trail at Reuters!
