POLITICALWIRE.COM - The Perez Hilton of Politics

With the 2008 race to the White House in full swing and with the international integrity of this nation at stake, now more than ever is the time to pay attention to politics. I’m making it my business to stay informed.

Now people have asked me where did I get that link to the fact sheet for the 2007 State of the Union Address?

How did I know that Minnesota Senator Norm Coleman (R), was nearly knocked unconscious while dumpster diving?

Or that President Bush just hired a new executive pastry chef, who, quite apropos, is also the author of Desserts for Dummies?

There’s only one place, folks:

TAEGAN GODDARD’S POLITICAL WIRE – politcalwire.com

Before Political Wire, I was forced to sit through the pathetic dating stories of my ex-boyfriend (working in DC) just so I could get the latest gossip scoop from The Hill. Now with PW, I can scan the most important developing political stories before finishing my morning bagel.

Why Choose Political Wire:
- Non-partisan state and national news coverage
- Latest polls comparing the potential 2008 presidential match-ups
- Random factoids that make you the envy of the water cooler
- Quote of the Day and Bizarre Injury of the Day
- Nice, clean web layout with nondescript ads for easy browsing

Is there anything not to like?

As far as keeping a finger on the political pulse, not really, but I do have one humble suggestion. I think along with a Quote of the Day, it would be good fun to have a Political Photo of the Day – whether the subject matter is amusing, shocking, or historical in importance. I’m not asking for snarky Microsoft Paint commentary, just an insightful little tagline.

As the 2008 White House race continues to heat up, make Taegan Goddard part of your morning internet browsing routine. There’s nothing wrong with ogling the latest pictures of Britney Spears stuffing her face with fast food, but balancing your news diet couldn’t be easier with Political Wire.

My belief in God may be shaky, but for the latest political buzz,
in Goddard I trust.

A little different than your other posts, that's for sure.

I tried opening politicalwire.com in my browser and it will not load. I have never been so disappointed in my life.

I really want to read it and see what it's about. LOAD DAMN IT!!!

That'd be awful to have to sit through the congress of the mind to learn about the Congress of the USA.

Your blog tickles the yes-yes place in my brain.

You're so awesome, I'd read anything you told me to.

I like your idea for them to add a daily (or some such regularity) photo with a tag line; to steal another idea that you mentioned to me recently the tag line/caption be user submittable/vote-able also. That would make it very web 2.0!
