You tell me...

What's missing from my revamped "politics blogroll" in the sidebar at right? What other blogs (or quasi-bloggish websites) are indispensable daily reads during this crazy election season? I don't care if they're left, right or center, just so long as they've got good/interesting/informative content, frequently updated.

I'd include the London Times and Le Monde websites.

[Jay Johnson]

I think that electionprojection.com is generally a pretty interesting read.

[Condor]

http://www.spiegel.de/
I think there's English on there somewhere.

[Joe Mama]

The Complete Spengler

[Scientizzle]

This, clearly.

[Laura]

Power Line and Captain's Quarters are the two best right-of-center political blogs, IMHO. Very well-written, original analysis, and frequently updated.

Best wishes,
Laura

I'm going to assume your list is pretty much in random order now, but that makes it hard to find things of interest.

Alphabetical is so boring. If you can find something that is appealing to the masses, that would be awesome. That's a difficult task. Alphabetical isn't bad.

I'd like to request that you provide a structure that doesn't rely upon some personal notion of left/right, black/white, male/female, (one-fish/two-fish/red-fish/blue-fish). I hope this election will be interesting because we finally break out of old molds.

I'd recommend The Liberty Papers (thelibertypapers dot org). They quote you often enough, it couldn't hurt to reciprocate just that much.

If you're going to have the Corner, it'd be even better to have the Campaign Spot. If you're going to have the Politico, it may be worth linking Ben Smith and Johnathan Martin separately.

As for RCP, I find Jay Cost invaluable. Marc Ambinder and The Fix are always worthwhile. Finally, CNN's Election Center consistently has excellent raw data.

[Tbone]

I really like Larry Sabato's Crystal Ball: http://www.centerforpolitics.org/crystalball/

His delegate and national race predictions are usually dead on the money.

For detailed & knowledgeable reporting on 3rd-party developments and election-related litigation & legislation, in addition to coverage of Major-party matters: Ballot Access News, by the expert & estimable Richard Winger.

Richard also links to a site wherein some verycommendable politicsgeek domain-named goobergunch.net :) daily tracks the Delegate Count, 2008 Presidential Election, to include not only Superdelegates but the NAMES of said Superduperpartypooperdelegates as their candidate commitments Emerge. Now THAT is Good. :} I think I'll check the CNN Election Center delegate charts against ol' goobergunch from time to time :]

Joe Mama, that Spengler site is quite Remarkable :). Thanks.

Hey, you dropped Malkin. Good for you.

That's a good list. Nice balance - nobody truly vile. One thing I'd say, for someone with vaguely libertarian sensibilities there aren't many actual libertarians your list. Consider adding Hit & Run.

[Ken]

From the left.... take a look at www.thinkprogress.org. Well organized, good commentary and backs up statements generally with good cites.

[Brendan Loy]

Yeah, I've found Malkin less useful recently. I had her on there because she's sometimes pretty good for liveblogging breaking news, but lately she's become so totally obsessed with her pet issues (cough cough, immigration) that I find her far less useful as an information source. And of course her commentary is way too inflammatory to be worth much. I also find her format confusing; only one post (not necessarily the most recent) on the homepage, and everything else in the sidebar? WTF?

Anyway, thanks for the suggestions, everyone. I'll definitely add some of them when I get a chance.

As for organization, I'm not sure what to do. I agree that I'd like to avoid left/right/center labels if possible. I have no desire to go alphabetical, because then I can't put the ones I find most useful near the top. I could try to split them into "news & information" and "commentary" categories, but that's an inevitably fuzzy line. Or I could split them into "MSM" and "blogs" or something like that, but again, that's a fuzzy line, and probably not all that useful.

I'm certainly open to suggestions. If neither I nor anyone else comes up with something good, I'll probably just leave it at the current mish-mash, with a vague, inexact prioritization of stuff I find most useful (and visit most often) near the top. (You have to realize, I basically use my own blogrolls as my list of bookmarks...)
