I try to keep my eye on the ball most all of the time. Having connections with the international community helps as it is quite embarassing to learn how much more someone from another country knows about US politics than I do. And I try to use my knowledge of history (college minor/lifetime hobby) as a basis to compare trends I see in individuals, parties and powerfull special interest groups. The last 7 years have been quite frightening...
