Minerva Loves Me

Well, she undoubtedly loves scads of others too – but I’m still pleased. This blog has just been selected by the Minerva Program of the Library of Congress to be among the Internet materials they archive regarding the 2004 election.

Roger,

Before the end of the election, you might put together a post showing your statistics on a timeline. Perhaps you could get somebody to do the grunt work for you. Showing hit counts versus events and significant linkages would provide a valuable referance to scholars years from now.

All too many scholars dismiss measurable metrics in favor of servicing their agendas. Making sure that the numbers are part of the record is just one way of giving those who follow us an opportunity to be honest. Seriously, having a hitcount tied to events will make your blog a more significant referance.

I am willing to put time into this project to help.

If you’re interested in Lasswell’s idea keep your logs from the period. It is fairly easy to extract the kind of information he is suggesting. The harder part would be to reconstruct the day by day real world timeline of election events.
