Left of Center

Hello,
My name is Matt Rodgers, a left of center news-junkie from Long Island, NY. You will probably see most of my posts concerning national issues and presidential candidates for 2008. It is certainly a great time to be a New Yorker when looking at the national spotlight; Hillary Clinton, Rudy Giuliani, and (maybe even) Micheal Bloomberg, vying for the possibility to be on the November 2008 tickets. I have a Bachelor of Science degree from Penn State and will be attending the University of South Carolina starting in the Fall 2007 semester for graduate study; so though I have lived my whole life in NY, I have and am constantly being exposed to different regional views. Through this blog, I hope to not only vocalize my own opinions, but also understand the reasons that others disagree with my stances.
