Editors' Picks
Starting today, TPMCafe's recommended reader blogs will be posted on a daily, rather than twice-weekly, basis. While many good entries get discovered through the recommendation system, even more go unnoticed or unrecognized. We hope this feature will both showcase more great reader content, as well as further integrate our already thriving (and growing) community.
That said, we need your help. We would love to hear any suggestions you might have for a catchy title for this feature. Snarky responses are welcome, but will not be seriously considered.
Today's recommended posts after the jump.
- David Seaton asks whether Barack Obama is the American Gorbachev
- Billy Glad explores what a US-Iran summit would look like under President Obama
- Big Blue looks at the pros and cons of Obama potential veep choice Jim Webb
- San Fernando Curt writes about the implications - and roots - of the credit crunch.

Please recommend these three types of blog posts:
1. ANYTHING IN ALL CAPS
2. Latest Superdelegate Goes to Obama!
3. Obama on C-Span right now
4. Anything that copies and pastes a news article without any analysis or commentary.
Thank you for helping to raise the bar in the TPM community.

I appreciate that this feature may help to counter-balance some of the apparent tendency of clusters of cliques to disparage certain posters whom they find less than appealing for whatever personal reasons they might hold dear.
I'm glad you'll be offering your recommendations every day now.
(I haven't thought of a good name yet though.)

I would vote for "Editor's Picks" if only the avatar's finger was in his nose.
