The last couple of weeks, NCPR has slowly been gearing up to tackle the big story of the 2012 political season.<\/p>\n

We’re working on the tools and strategies that will help us gather and pass along the best possible information about the campaigns and the issues.<\/p>\n

Be sure to bookmark our Election 2012 <\/a>page, which will be evolving pretty quickly in the days and weeks ahead, with info about local, state and national races.<\/p>\n

If you go there now, you’ll find Tasha Haverty’s fascinating interview with Don Hassig, the NY-21 Green Party candidate.\u00a0 You’ll find the latest on the political shake-up in Saratoga County.<\/p>\n

And you’ll find NPR’s latest take on the Obama-Romney contest.<\/p>\n

But things will be expanding rapidly, with candidate and issue information to help you cast an informed vote, and a lot of deeper, more technical information for folks interested in the nut-and-bolts of the election season.<\/p>\n

Then, beginning on July 30th we’ll begin our 100 Day Sprint special, with daily updates on the campaigns, the debates, and more.<\/p>\n

For non-political junkies we’ll make sure to keep a lot of other issues alive in the In Box.\u00a0 But if you love the sound and fury of democracy, this will be a good place for meaningful information and conversation.<\/p>\n

Finally, I want to encourage you to chime in with requests:\u00a0 What specific stories or data sets would you like to see?\u00a0 Are there features or interviews that you think would add to the conversation?<\/p>\n

We’ve heard loud and clear that people want more than the “horse race” stuff and we’ll work hard to deliver a lot of depth.\u00a0 Help us out by throwing out topics or questions you think we should tackle.<\/p>\n

Again, bookmark us here now<\/a> as we dive into the crucible of Election 2012.\u00a0 Then you’ll be part of the conversation right up to the day you walk into the ballot booth.<\/p>\n
