I attempted to search the blogosphere once again in order to find helpful resources regarding the upcoming election and the political process of the United States. These are slightly more insightful than those I previously found, but still match the criteria set by Webby and IMSA, respectively, and can be found in my linkroll. Election 08' , a political blog, by the Care 2 website follows the 2008 Presidential Election. This blog contains videos and articles highlighting different aspects of the Presidential race. Donklephant is a blog that maintains to offer an independent assessment of the Presidential elections. The Green Papers is a also a blog that offers insight on the Presidential election with an emphasis on the environmental agenda. Divided We Stand, United We Fall, is a blog that takes the controversial approach on most things affecting America in the political realm. Dave Leip's Atlas of U.S. Presidential Elections, is a blog that analyzes the election by compiling different polls and primary results and formulating an educated decision about where the Presidential race is headed. Centerfield, is a moderate blog which offers some thoughts on, not only the structure of American politics but takes on the world as well. Reliable Politics also makes an attempt at analyzing world politics but focuses on the United States and the current state of the Union and the issues shaping that current state. Teagan Goddard's Political Wire, is a blog that attempts to scrutinize what Teagan Goddard seems to think is wrong with the American political system and where it is currently headed. The Debate Link, is a blog which follows a wider range of political events in the United States and correlates them to the American Presidential election and the elections also occurring around the world. The last blog that I recommend is The Moderate Voice, which is a well constructed blog with multiple well-written contributers, which paints America and it's politics in a light that is hopeful and truthful at the same time, giving it's readers news and hope about the American political system. All of these blogs and websites give their opinion on the news that is currently affecting the general populace of the United States, when it comes to the political spectrum, and do a great job.

EBF,
First off, thank you for providing many great resources for those of us who absolutely love following the primaries. On the Election 08’ - Care 2 site I found it fantastic that they had links titled “roundups” which allow you to see collections of blogs or videos relating to the same topics. I agree with you that The Moderate Voice is well written and all encompassing. It looks as though “moderateness” is going to be quite the topic in this upcoming election, and so it seems appropriate that one should read up on what it means to be in the middle. Just as you said, I found this to be a great site. However, I think the most useful blog would be David Leip’s Atlas of U.S. Presidential Elections. In discussing politics, being able to look at statistics and argue on the basis of trends is imperative. I love that this site is frequently updated and plan to use it as a guide in the future.
Not only do I appreciate your great resources, but I also believe that your blog site is very aesthetically pleasing. By that, I mean that your baby blue background, blue links, and red titles compliment each other perfectly. One thing you could do to make it look even better is to delete the line before your first sentence in this latest blog, which would allow for your picture and post to line up perfectly. Also, when it comes to your writing style, I noticed that you begin many sentences with “…is a blog that.” By varying up your sentence structure, your writing could flow much better. You might also be able to create a better flow by finding elements that your sites have in common in order to either group them or compare and contrast them with one another. You mention that both Reliable Politics and The Debate Link discuss world politics so you could possibly write about the similarities between the two and which you prefer. Other than that, I think you have done a wonderful job, and I can see that you spent time researching the Internet.
