"Coliseum" Prologue

With the news that Yahoo, Inc. will be shutting down our free websites later this year, the Party of Commons has decided to create "Coliseum," which will focus on our campaigns, our candidates and the powers-that-be that oppose us. "Coliseum" will pick up some of the slack from our Yahoo sites and explain our platforms, how we view the issues, which candidates we will put forward in the election arena, and which opponents we will have to fend off or challenge in order to win.

Our other new blog, "Senator," was previously going to be the sole election blog, but now that we have learned that we will lose some of our Yahoo sites, "Coliseum" and "Senator" will compliment each other. At the beginning, we will have to determine what will be the distinctions between these two, but the distinctions should become more obvious as time passes on.

"Senator" will probably be the blog for our manifestos, initiatives and what we think about the grand issues of the day, as well as information about our senators', from the Party of Commons Senate, campaigns and activities, whereas "Coliseum" will focus on less grandiose platforms as opposed to manifestos, more of the mundane though nonetheless important issues, and the campaigns of our rank-in-file members. This will not be a perfect separation, as "Coliseum" and "Senator" may blend together on issues and information in some instances, but we think that in due time, our readers will know what to expect from each of these blogs. "Coliseum" will probably dwell on the regions outside of the Pacific Northwest more than "Senator," as we had previously thought that "Senator" would do more of that, until we decided to create this blog.

A rundown on our other blogs:

Senator: http://commonsenate.blogspot.com

Evergreen: http://commonwash.blogspot.com
Focusing on the Pacific Northwest, generally, and the environment in particular.

Commoner: http://partyofcommons.blogspot.com
Our main blog which covers general issues and viewpoints about politics. "Commoner" has been giving a lot of information about the goings ons within the Party of Commons, but now that will be more of a function of "Senator" and "Coliseum."
