Nominate your choice for best coverage of politics in 2008.
UPDATE: NOMINATIONS ARE CLOSED FOR ALL CATEGORIES. FINALIST WILL BE ANNOUNCED DEC. 29. VOTING BEGINS JAN. 5.
To nominate a blog you need to leave a comment on this entry. Your comment should contain the name of the blog, the main URL for the blog, and (if possible) the URL for a RSS/Atom feed. For example:
Wizbang
http://wizbangblog.com/
http://feeds.wizbangblog.com/Wizbang
Unless you login via one of the supported authentication services (Typekey, WordPress, OpenID, Yahoo, AIM, etc.) your comment will not be published immediately. Unauthenticated comments are placed in a moderation queue. Due to the volume of comments, it may take up to 24 hours for your comment to be approved. Comments from authenticated users will be published immediately.
Every so often our spam fighting service flags an authenticated comment as spam. If put more than 10 URL's in a comment it will set off the junk filter. If your comment doesn't immediately appear that's probably what happened. We review and "unjunk" these comments as we are approving unauthenticated comments. We're sorry for the inconvenience.
Rules And FAQ's- You can nominate yourself, don't be shy.
- The number of nominations a blog receives is irrelevant. One nomination is enough...
- Rather than add a "me too" nomination for a site you're encouraged to use the "+" icon to indicate your preference for nominees. The "+" ratings are one extra piece of information the finalist selection panel can use to help generate the finalist slates in each category.
- Given the two previous items, we reserve the right to remove excessive comments (i.e. nominations) for the same site.
The nomination period is scheduled to end on Wednesday, November 19, 2008.- The nomination period has been extended to Friday, November 21, 2008.
- Voting for selected finalists is scheduled to begin December 8, 2008. Finalists will be announced several days before voting begins.
- Read The Nomination FAQ
- Get Weblog Award logos to post on your site. Link to the nomination index or your favored category
- Get technical help or ask questions at The Weblog Awards Forum
- If you are linking to the contest consider using the nomination category archive, as it contains links to all of the nomination posts.

There's more to politics than American politics, and few blogs cover politics as well as The India Uncut Blog, written by Amit Varma.
http://www.indiauncut.com/iublog/
http://feeds.feedburner.com/IUB
His coverage of the complex world of Indian politics is fantastic, and he also writes a fair bit about American politics. Check out his category page for examples:
http://www.indiauncut.com/iublog/categories/category/Politics/
Varma is also an award-winning journalist - he won the 2007 Bastiat Prize for Journalism -- but his best writing, imo, is on his blog.
Americasright.com has been for me the best and one of the fastest ways to gain updated information about issues as they happened! I think they actually called the election before FOX news on TV. Jeff Scheiber does a great job of reporting as unslanted as he possibly can, but he does allow himself to post his views quite often. Great site!

I nominate Logisticsmonster.com for the relentless, untiring pursuit to give us the best information behind the subversive matriculation of forces trying to take over our country. I can not express enough gratitude for the work behind the post other than become involved and do my part to not let that happen. Even if not awarded, her work has educated and inspired me and many other readers. That is an award that goes beyond votes….

American puma is nothing but cut and paste...bleh!
Unlike almost all blogs and many other sites, I avoid demagoguery and concentrate on things that are effective (such as discrediting reporters) and encouraging people to actually do things (like ask politicians questions). I also have extensive background information on various politicians, mostly but not entirely in regards to immigration:

I would like to nominate SpeakOutSouthbridge.com . In eight short months, it has developed a devoted following that helps to expose the truth in local politics, more often than not reports news before the local paper, and aggressively works against bringing to Southbridge, Massachusetts the states largest Municipal Solid Waste Dump, which would allow 1 billion pounds of waste every five quarters. Dennis has a legion of people that help him to break stories that the local papers won't cover.

No Quarter
http://www.noquarterusa.net/blog/
http://www.noquarterusa.net/blog/
Larry Johnson created probably the most open site found on the Internet during this election. People were never blocked for thier opinions and some of the guest writers were internationally known. Even the writers that were known only to the blog provided a wealth of thought-provoking material.
Absolutely the bet on the the Net in 2008!
Best blog so far this year. None stop news and threat, and my posts never got blocked. Larry Johnson is the most informed and intellegent blogger I've known.

I like From the Left for political coverage. So many blogs now have become product placement sites heavy with ads you must step over. No so with From the Left. Christopher presents a left-leaning mix of news and opinion in a crisp, intelligent fashion.
Good luck!

Nomination for Best Political Coverage: Left of College Station
http://theleftofcollegestation.blogspot.com/
http://theleftofcollegestation.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default
Left of College Station was created in June to be a voice for liberal and progressive ideas in the conservative community of Bryan-College Station, Texas. (Which is home to Texas A&M University, which according to the Princeton Review is the most conservative college in the nation.) LOCS follows both local and national political and social events, posting headlines and articles and three to four times a week posting original content blogs. LOCS cross posts diaries on Texas Kaos, Burnt Orange Report, and the Daily Kos.
Hit & Run is where the cool people hang out.
The best coverage by far
Little Green Footballs
http://littlegreenfootballs.com/weblog/
Therealbarackobama (RBO) gets my nomination. This site is incredibly, painstakingly well-researched. It remains factual ALWAYS and does not push stories based on hearsay or rumors. Comments are moderated somewhat - there is no hate, no running off at the mouth, no stupidity, no obscenities, no racism, no sexism. RBO doesn't waste my time: Whatever is there, be it posts or comments, is worth taking a look at!
RBO is dedicated to bringing forth the truth in a time where journalists/the media have completely failed us. No commercial banners or ads cluttering this site: It is focused and clear. A search box enables readers to revisit posts. Posts are regularly updated.
I've learned so much from RBO. Hats off, whether this site gets the nomination or not!!
