Mike Allen's POLITICO Playbook

Like Thrillist, Mike Allen has a loyal following. Author of the morning mass e-mail newsletter Playbook, Allen has been dubbed by the New York Times as "The Man the White House Wakes Up To."

From NYT:
"Allen’s e-mail tipsheet, Playbook, has become the principal early-morning document for an elite set of political and news-media thrivers and strivers. Playbook is an insider’s hodgepodge of predawn news, talking-point previews, scooplets, birthday greetings to people you’ve never heard of, random sightings (“spotted”) around town and inside jokes. It is, in essence, Allen’s morning distillation of the Nation’s Business in the form of a summer-camp newsletter."

If you've looking for the political junkie equivalent of Thrillist or Daily Candy, well this is it. http://www.politico.com/playbook/
