Here's a copy of the confirmation email that candidates are receiving upon their submission of information for the Washington Post's online voter guide.

From: votersguide@washpost.com [votersguide@washpost.com]
Sent: [Date]
To: [Candidate]
Subject: The Washinton Post VotersGuide confirmation for [Candidate]

We have recieved your questioniare. Thank you for submitting your information.
Should you have any questions regarding the questionnaire you just submitted, please email us at votersguide@washpost.com or call us at 202-334-7133.
Apparently, the Post is really missing all the copy editors they have driven away. Perhaps MCEA would consider dispatching some grammar teachers to assist them.

It appears that the Post has forgiven Adam --and maybe more!
Today the Post called him "a popular political blogger."

Adam quits his day job, then calls the Post on the carpet, and then the Post, which has battled him for a long time, praises him.
Hmm!
Something's happening, but you don't know what it is, do you, Mr. Jones?
