Back-Patting: Mitchell Praises Roll Callers

An internal Roll Call email, obtained by FishbowlDC:

We’ve had three big scoops three days running: today’s scoop on Daschle heading to HHS, last night’s on McCain seeking re-election and the Monday afternoon story on Democrats deciding that Lieberman would get away with a light slap on the wrist.

Great work — and I know more is on the way.

UPDATE: WashingtonPost.com's Chris Cillizza even gives a shout out to Roll Call…

NOTE: The news of McCain’s decision was first reported by Fix alma mater Roll Call (subscription required). Roll Call — continuing its hot streak — also broke the news that former South Dakota Sen. Tom Daschle would head the Department of Health and Human Services for President-elect Barack Obama.
