Fish Poll

ABC News Chief White House Correspondent Jake Tapper received a downpour of support after he guest hosted “This Week” last Sunday. Many Washington Journalists want him to have the gig permanently. But how many? Let us know in our completely unscientific poll below. We’ll post the results in tomorrow’s Morning Chatter.

Create a social media strategy, launch your campaign, and track the results in our Social Media Marketing Boot Camp starting February 16. The online event and workshop will feature speakers including The Onion‘s Baratunde Thurston (left), Facebook’s Morin Oluwole, and bitly’s Tim Devane. Register now.

The lead story on The Hill‘s front page this morning is about Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney‘s effort to wrap up the primary by winning big in Florida on Tuesday.

Accompanying the story is an image of Romney addressing a crowd. He looks serious, he’s gesturing with his left hand and looks to be a little damp from sweat. Actually, very damp. Underneath his arm is a nebulous spot that looks a lot like armpit sweat.

It’s the end of January, but still relatively warm in Florida. The Hill‘s story was datelined Orlando. The high in Orlando today is 71 degrees. Then again, Romney appears to be indoors in the photograph. No air-conditioning.

What’s your call?

According to our Washington zodiac calendar, 2011 is the year of the naked congressman. So rather than fighting our gag reflexes or crying in the corner, we’ve decided to embrace these political pin-ups with a poll as ridiculous as their antics. Too soon?

L to R: Former Rep. Chris Lee (R-NY), Rep. Anthony Weiner (D-NY), Rep. Aaron Schock (R-IL).

In light of the anti-conservative comments made by Washington Post‘s Dave Weigel, many are calling for the resignation or release of the conservative-beat blogger. Because his biases are now public, can he really perform his journalistic duties to serve as a gateway of information for WaPo readers? Sound off below.

News that the Pulitzer Prize Board officially accepted The National Enquirer‘s submissions for breaking the John Edwards scandal hit the Web only hours ago but the response has already been insane and insanely varied.

Many fear that the Board’s acceptance of the Enquirer is a slippery slope that will ultimately tarnish the coveted prize while others claim it’s the perfect message to send MSM who’ve neglected investigative journalism.

A few comments from Emily Miller‘s HuffPo scoop:

“Are the Pulitzers now going to have a sleeze category? Good grief, I was so thrilled when Eugene Robinson won, but just a year later it could mean a whole lot less.”

“I hope they win… They deserve it and it should be a slap in the face to every other media outlet that ignored the story.”

But who better to weigh in than Washington media… So FishbowlDC, what do you think? Is the Pulitzer’s decision fair or foul?
