Why I Read Political Wire

I read a lot of blogs, and I mean a lot of blogs - I count 53 in NetNewsWire right now. But none is as important to me as Taegan Goddard's Political Wire. If you read Minipundit regularly, you know I link to Taegan's site quite often. There's a reason for this. Anything and everything that one could ever need to know about American elections and campaigns can be found at Political Wire - and it's up there faster and in more detail than it is anywhere else. There are a handful of blogs - Ezra Klein, Matt Yglesias, Kevin Drum, Steve Benen, Shakespeare's Sister - that I treat like very good op-ed pages. But Political Wire is the only blog that I treat like the news section of a newspaper. I trust it more than practically any other news source. And it's earned that. So, if for some unfortunate reason you're not reading it already, please start. Now.
