George Wenschhof Bio
It is hard to believe I started this site 15 months ago. Always interested in Democratic news and commentary, I decided to publish a website focused on these issues. The site began as a hobby, furthering my lifelong interest in politics.
Our initial viewers were from my home area of Frederick County, Maryland and from other areas across the state. This was primary a result of my political contacts throughout the state.
Today, the site readership includes viewers from all 50 states and 27 countries from around the world. In my home state of Maryland, we receive views from 42 towns and cities. Links to articles appearing on our site have been received from the NY Times, Huffington Post, Baltimore Sun, Chicago Tribune and Washington Post.
We now have several columnists who provide weekly commentary and just recently, wanting to highlight the youth in the Democratic Party, we began to publish weekly columns from members of the local FrederickYoung Democrats.
Gradually, this site has become a full time endeavor for me. The housing slump and economic downturn caused me to close a small real estate firm I had operated for 17 years. So with readership booming, I am looking to add income so I am able to continue publication of this site.
To raise needed capital, we are offering specials, so if you have interest in placing an advertisement on our site, email me at georgewenschhof@gmail.com
Over the past 15 months, we have averaged 2.4 posts per day, 7 days a week and are now only 56 posts away from 1000.
If you do not operate a business, but want to donate to help the site grow, click here. We appreciate your contributions.
We are also looking to hire a marketing account executive with Internet experience. If interested, send your resume and a letter of interest with salary requirements to the email above.
All of us who write on Air-it-Out with George Wenschhof, want to thank you for continuing to visit our site and read our Democratic news and commentary.

President-elect Obama plays 18 on first day of vacation - Reporters covering his play discovered he is a left hand golfer - a Phil Mickelson perhaps? Doubtful, Obama says his game is not that good. Politico.com has more here.
--------------------
"Blago Watch" continues - the name of the emissary who reportedly was asked to raise campaign funds for Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich (D) in exchange for selecting Representative Jesse Jackson Jr (D-Ill.). to fill the vacant Senate seat has been identified. He is Chicago businessman Raghuveer P. Nayak who is reportedly seeking immunity in exchange for his cooperation with federal authorities. The Chicago Tribune Swamppolitics.com has more here.
The investigation into the "pay to play" schemes of the Governor have been ongoing for five years and involved many wiretaps. MSNBC.com has more here.
President-elect Barack Obama is expected to release their internal report of contacts with Governor Blagojevich and members of the transition team early this week. Interestingly, in regard to public information requests, it seems the presidential transition efforts are not covered under the legislation, should any be requested. Politico.com has more here.
--------------------
Senator Edward Kennedy (D-Mass.) focuses on health care for all Americans - He is suffering from incurable brain cancer, but is back at work after recuperating from surgery and post surgery treatment to remove as much as possible of a malignant tumor. Health care for all Americans has always been his passion while serving in the Senate and now he has a President-elect and incoming Cabinet member Tom Daschle who support the same cause. Bloomberg.com has more here.
--------------------
"Face The Nation" and Bob Schieffer gang up on Caroline Kennedy - yesterday, the morning talk show was basically a beat up on Caroline Kennedy discussion by frustrated seekers of the soon to be vacant Senator Hillary Clinton senate seat. Representative Gary Ackerman (D-NY) compared her to Alaska Governor Sarah Palin (R) and Representative Peter King (D-NY) who is planning to run in the 2010 election, took his shots as well. TheHill.com has more here.
Caroline Kennedy is hardly a Sarah Palin whose total lack of knowledge on any important issue helped to boost the ratings of Saturday Night Live and have the star shine brighter on Tina Fey. The aforementioned Representative's frustrations are shared by NY Attorney General Andrew Cuomo who also covets the Senate seat. This is a result of all the air being sucked out of the room when Caroline Kennedy made public her interest in the job. The NY Times has more here.
