Any BJ types among top political reporters?

Chris Cillizza of the WashingtponPost.com Politics Blog lists the top poltical reporters nominated in answer to his request.

Thirty-three states are covered. Columnists at the PD, Cincy Enquirer and Columbus Dispatch and two from the Sacramento Bee, the McClatchy flagship, made the list.

From California were Sacramento Bee columnist Dan Weintraub, Los Angeles Times columnist George Skelton, San Francisco Chronicle reporters Phil Matier and Andrew Ross, and Sacramento Bee columnist Dan Walters.

From Ohio were Cleveland Plain Dealer columnist Tom Suddes, Columbus Dispatch senior editor Joe Hallett, Cincinnati Enquirer columnist Howard Wilkinson

Click the headline to see if you notice any BJ types in the list.

Incidentally, Maria Ravera of the Sacramento Bee has been recognized by Presstime magazine as among "the best and brightest young professionals in the newspaper business." Each year since 1993, the glossy monthly magazine of the Newspaper Association of America has profiled 20 up and coming young newspaper professionals in its December issue. She is the Bee’s home delivery sales manager and regional circulation manager.

I guess first you would need A political reporter before you can have a TOP political reporter

Is the anonymous comment above implying that there has never been a Beacon Journal employee who has become a political reporter?
