Political weblogs Political weblogs Blog for America was the title of the official Howard Dean campaign weblog from March 2003 to March, 2004. It was previously known as the Dean Call To Action blog, the first presidential campaign weblog, founded by Mathew Gross on March 15 2003, but became BFA when it was rebuilt using Movable Type by Marc Chadwick and Mathew Gross . It is widely recognized as the first effective campaign blog, and is credited (along with the Howard Dean Meetup) with enabling a new paradigm for grassroots campaigning. Using the blog, Dean campaign members were able to effectively communicate with supporters, posting frequent updates on the candidate, his supporters, his organization, his views, and his detractors. The comments section of Blog for America was noted for high activity and loyalty, and was an effective means of self-organization for Dean's committed followers. The blog is also credited with powering the Dean campaign's impressive fundraising abilities during the 2004 Democratic presidential primary. ...more on Wikipedia about "Blog for America"

Political blogs are among the most common forms of blogs. Most political blogs are news driven, and as such political bloggers will link to articles from news web sites, often adding their own comments as well. Other politcal blogs heavily feature original commentary, with occasional hyperlinks to back up the blogger's talking points. Many of these blogs comment on whatever interests the author, as befits the blogger's political leanings, personal knowledge base, and momentary interests. Nearly all political blogs have an open and well-defined liberal or conservative bias. Blog enthusiasts often tout the openness of biases in the blogosphere as opposed to the supposed impartiality of "mainstream" sources, which they consider to be a sham. In return, many in the more established branches of the media criticize political bloggers for their anonymity and their lack of factual reliability. Most bloggers counter that what many pundits say also is not reliable. ...more on Wikipedia about "Political blog"
