Political Wire

Political Wire

Political Wire was one of the first political blogs. It is published by Taegan D. Goddard, a former policy adviser to a U.S. Senator and governor and the co-author of a widely hailed political book, "You Won - Now What?"

To differentiate itself from many other political blogs, Political Wire integrates dozens of RSS feeds in a web-based news aggregator to live up to its tagline: "All the political news in one place." The aggregator compiles the most recent political headlines from more than a dozen sources.

In 2006, Goddard [http://politicalwire.com/archives/2006/02/13/note_to_readers.html announced] a content partnership with "Congressional Quarterly". He also added a roster of well-known guest contributors, including Stuart Rothenberg, Dick Morris, Mudcat Saunders, Robert Reich, George Soros and others.

While Political Wire is officially non-partisan, Mr. Goddard's personal views are to the left. However, his balance of content is demonstrated by the large number of both left- and right-wing blogs that link to him.

Predecessor site

Political Wire is directly descended from Political Insider, a political website published by Goddard and the co-author of his [http://youwon-nowwhat.com book] , Christopher Riback. The site's daily briefing was syndicated by about a dozen websites from 1998 to 2000. The name "Political Insider" was recently revived as a companion site for ( [http://politicalinsider.com/ Political Insider] ) that is now published by "Congressional Quarterly".

Other sites

During 2007, Goddard also launched two additional sites: Political Books ( [http://politicalbooks.com/ Political Books] ), a blog dedicated to the political publishing industry, and Political Stuff ( [http://politicalstuff.com/ Political Stuff] ), an e-commerce site of political memorabilia.
