We'll be updating Vox Pop with new posts throughout the day, but expect it to be a little lighter than usual, it being a federal holiday and all. We'll be back in full force tomorrow though, getting excited for Wednesday's debate (the first one in 33 days ... not that we've been counting), and looking ahead to the Michigan primary on the 28th. Enjoy your day off!
Happy Presidents' Day!
We're celebrating by taking it easy today, and maybe watching a West Wing marathon. You should too.
