Can I go back to writing briefs now?

It's nice to finally get these monkeys off my back:

Chris Cannon

and

Jason Chaffetz

No, no – the stories. The stories are the monkeys. What kind idiot do you take me for?

The stories are long and have quite a bit of detail, but there's always discussion about how much detail and what kind should be in it. Do we include stands on a dozen issues each and their detailed (or not) approach to solving them? In the case of Rep. Cannon, do we include his specific voting record? How much of it? All 12 years?

We decided mostly write about who these guys are and why they do what they do. Their web sites – Chaffetz and Cannon – can get into the painstaking details of votes or issues. We did get into some general policy discussion, but for the most part we want readers to know what makes these guys tick.

FYI, these guys are also apparently really ticked at each other.

Check out the KUED debate from Friday in which poor Doug Fabrizio spends most of his time politely telling one or the other to shut up so the other guy can answer the question. (Ego alert: Yours truly gives a little "analysis" at the beginning with BYU political science gurus Kelly Patterson and Quin Monson.)
