About SSP

Hello Friends,

Welcome to “Straight Scoop Politics,” a blog devoted to sharing the straight scoop about political news, campaign events, and legislative issues with independent insight and without the “talking points” of partisan political diatribes that often flood the internet and the media.

Let’s take a look at the merits of political issues, candidate positions, and campaign events without the straight jacket or rose-colored glasses worn by one party or another. Let’s discover the “story behind the story” of breaking political news and events – what really happened, what it means, and what it might portend for the future – in the world of politics, for our country, and for you and me.

A new “mini-blog” has been added to SSP in 2013, called “Off The Cuff.” As news stories develop, or political issues arise, it may be more important to write a quick, timely observation rather than delay to write a more expansive blog. A Twitter comment or anecdote is too short. So I have created this new “Off The Cuff” Section. I will include my “Off The Cuff” observations on the home page of SSP for now. Later, they will appear on this “Off The Cuff” Page. Let me know what you think of my new mini-blog.

OK, let’s get started. Please take a moment to sign-up as an email subscriber on my home page. Thanks for reading, chime in when you’d like, and don’t forget to get involved in your own political community. Hang on, and I hope you will enjoy the ride!

Best,

Chris Niedermeier
