I hope you’ve noticed the new layout of our Political Junkie website. It’s smarter looking and much easier to navigate. And our ScuttleButton format is going to change next week as well. I hope you like the changes.
How to Play
ScuttleButton, as you may know, is that weekly waste of time exercise where we post a vertical sequence of campaign buttons. Your job is to take one word (or concept) per button and add ’em up to arrive at a famous name or familiar expression. Guess the correct phrase and you could be the proud winner of the coveted Political Junkie button!
Good luck!
