Claremont Conservative Breaks 115,000 Visitors!

Here's a quick update for our very loyal readers and friends on all that transpired last semester with the website.

• For those of you who haven't heard, we're also a finalist for a $10,000 award from America's Future Foundation, just as we were last year. We could also place second or third. My dad asked me earlier about the odds that we might win. I laughed and said three in ten -- if we're lucky. Still, I think we do a fair job of meeting all of the contests criteria.
  

• Early last semester I spoke on Pajamas Media with Ben Judge CMC '09. There I represented the Claremont Conservative fairly well, despite having misbuttoned myself! (Live and learn, friends, live and learn.)
  

• We've also merged with The Claremont Independent. Later last semester I was named editor of The Claremont Independent. I have big plans for the Claremont Independent, in addition to some great stories lined up. It goes without saying that our staff has been magnificent in every respect. The prior editor of the Independent, Ilan Wurman CMC '10, has been a great contributor to this blog and we look forward to working with him in the future. Now that the merger is official, though, expect to see more posts but different people.
