Housekeeping!
A quick note to readers: We're making some adjustments in how the reader posts -- they're over there to the right -- are being presented here at TPM Election Central.
Upshot: Recent posts -- not the recommended ones, the others -- are being removed from here and will be relocated to TPM Cafe.
If you want more info, TPM Cafe Overlord Andrew Golis explains all right here.

This makes a lot of sense!

Mr. Sargent, are you worried that your readers would see that many of the newest posts are very different than your sometimes clear Clinton bias?

No. There is no Clinton bias here.

Whatever, "Breg Bargent". Obviously, this alleged "housecleaning" is another attempt to promote your pro-Clinton ideology.

Putting reader's posts in the Cafe makes a lot of sense.

If I could offer a dissenting opinion. I rather liked seeing both the recommended (still curious about the metric that gets some "recommended" and other equally good end up overlooked) and the recent -- because often, the READERS are beating you all to the NEWS.
Plus you can also get a sense by who is screaming about what, which things are "hot topics."
Maybe you should move the campaign calendar, Intrade and some of the other stuff to the front page to make room here.
OR....
You could create a SEPARATE Cafe -- or WATERCOOLER where ALL of the reader blogs for and entire day are listed. It is frustrating to find same day blogs tucked away in the archives.
Just one person's opinion.

I agree - I don't like not seeing the recent reader posts on the Election Central page (and on the Muckraker page). Jade is correct - a lot of times the readers are the ones with the breaking news, and it's convenient to have them right at your fingertips. It's kind of a pain in the neck to have to go to the TPM Cafe to see the recent posts. To me, the posts are more important than the recent videos. Just my opinion...

I'd put a vote into having liked them. Almost more than the "recommended"
I see the layout issues you are having, but it is really nice to have those here too.
My2Cents ... good luck (layout sux).
