PoliticsVT announced today that they will be closing up shop in 2007. I'm not really into politics, but this is one of the few politically geared sites and publications that I actually read. Their reporting and discussions are top notch in my book, and it will be sad to see them go.

But I have to wonder - is this really the end? Timing is everything, and tomorrow is April Fools Day. Is this all an elaborate joke? Something tells me it's not. But it does beg the question - why not get help? Realistically these guys have a pretty strong support and reader base. Some of these people are fully qualified to be writers. Some of them write for political blogs themselves, or keep their own blogs. Some people would love to be a part of a community blog like this.

We can hope.
