Esther Drew is a copywriter for an ad agency in Dallas, Texas. When she’s not working or caring for two young daughters, she’s googling, Tivo-ing, processing and regurgitating the daily political happenings.

Esther graduated with a degree in Advertising and Public Relations from the University of Central Florida, after which she was by no means ready to make the real world’s acquaintance. She then attended the Creative Circus portfolio school before joining the laptop-toting ranks of the ad world.

Esther maintains (to use the term loosely) a collection of musings on BlatantHope.blogspot.com, in which she can ill disguise her support for Barack Obama.
