Some things don't mix, but politics and business certainly do

Of course politics and business mix. They both revolve around money and influence, so they have a lot in common.

But that intersection, that place where they blur to the point where one becomes indiscernable from the other, that's a place where a lot of interesting stories exist. And that's why I'm excited about Region's Business in Philadelphia.

There are plenty of print outlets and Web sites that plow over basic business news in the Delaware Valley or serve up platters of Philly area politics. But we're aiming higher. We want to dig into politics so that you can see what's coming, what the impact is before it you feel it. We want to get past the mundane business numbers so you can see behind the scenes while having a better understanding of the bigger picture.

It's a tall order, for sure, but there's a need for that type of information, context and analysis. When faced with a large task, a former boss once said, "How do you eat a whale? One bite at a time." So pass the tartar sauce and let's get to it.
