Starter Packs
Created by Josh Marshall (4)
Josh Marshall's Quality People Starter Pack
Just an array of people who I think are worth following, a very subjective view of course, not canonical or exhaustive, but a general focus on news and politics and other things of interest to me.
A Polls and Elections Starter Pack
A starter pack of people who really understand polls, political demographics and election results. An focus on making sense of numbers and what polls or elections results mean in a concrete sense over broader political commentary, though there's that too.
