Good Blogs

People often ask what are good blogs about politics.

I often point them toward my friend and co-author Brendan Nyhan who maintains a blog that is often focused on spin, the media's coverage of politics, and fact checking more generally.

UWM's Tom Holbrook is maintaining a blog about Election '08. Over at Madison, Charles Franklin has a blog about polling, Political Arithmetik.

The New York Times is now maintaining a fairly large stable of blogs as well. And not all of them are about politics. I'm quite fond of Mark Bittman's food blog Bitten.

If you start to follow multiple blogs you might want to check out using a feed reader so that the posts come to you. Check out Google Reader or maybe NewsGator (I use their NetNewsWire).
