Blogs to watch

I have selected two blogs which I feel will be interesting to monitor throughout this semester. As the biggest news story of the next few months is going to be the run up to the U.S. Presidential election later this year I have decided to choose two political news blogs. First there is the National Review Online, which addresses news from a rightist perspective, and the politics section of the Huffington Post, which takes a more left-wing view point on politics. The National Review online originates from the hugely popular National Review magazine and contains several news blogs on their site. The Huffington Post is also recognized as one of the top political blogs. With blogs becoming an increasingly important vehicle from which people get their news and voice their opinions on matters relating to politics, it will be very revealing to see how these blogs, contrasting in political view point, assess the events of the next few months as the battle hots up for the White House.
