You know the old saying about how you can’t kill off a government program, even after it has outlived its usefulness? Well, you can certainly do that to a blog. And, in fact, you probably should.
Back in April, we launched Beyond the Dome to follow the adventures of the ultimate reality show: three senators competing for the highest office in the land. Now, of course, Barack Obama has won the prize, Hillary Rodham Clinton is back in the Senate, and John McCain is heading back there as well.
So the reality show is finished. Do you keep watching The Apprentice after the apprentice has been picked? Of course not. You move on to the next thing.
And so will we. Now, this blog is being replaced by a new one that will cover the transition from President Bush to President Obama over the next two months. And in January, I’ll be back with a new blog with Adriel Bettelheim, CQ’s new White House correspondent, that will focus on the relationship between the Obama administration and Congress.
Until then, thanks for reading.

Thanks for the excellent reporting all campaign long! Looking forward to the next phase. Will certainly be interesting to see how old relationships manifest in new ways between the Hill and 1600 Penn. Thanks again!
