Got a favorite #campaignreads?
If you’re like us — and you are — then you always feel like there’s too much good stuff being written about politics and not enough time to read it .

T (AP Photo/Kirsty Wigglesworth)But, tomorrow is July 4th, which means you have nothing better to do than lounge in your air-conditioned apartment/house and read all the stuff you’ve been wanting to get caught up with foe the past week or so. (Right? That’s what people do on vacation days, right?)
So, what do you need to read? That’s where Fixistas come in. We want to hear what long(ish) newspaper and magazine articles — as well as academic studies, quarterly pieces or anything else — that political junkies HAVE to read. (No books! The Fix can’t read a book in a day or a weekend.)
One example: Ryan Lizza’s New Yorker piece on what President Obama will do if he gets a second term. (We are printing that one out now to read.)
Tweet your recommendations to #campaignreads and we will compile them in a post tomorrow morning. We’re going to be doing this sort of thing a lot more so if ever you come across a long(er) political story that we should be making sure everyone reads, make sure to tweet it to #campaignreads. We’ll post the best ones over on CampaignReads.com Happy recommending!
