Considering Alabama’s Best Political Blogs

Posted by Danny, on April 17th, 2009, at 10:31 am

Computer Flat Screen MonitorI have been remiss in not thanking you who recommended this blog to Chris Cillizza (of The Fix at the Washington Post) who last week named this site one of the best state political blogs. The list was based entirely on recommendations by his readers, and so I thank very much those of you who were kind enough to take it upon yourselves to recommend the Parlor to him.

On his list of best state political blogs, Cillizza also singles out Alabama blogs South Union Street (Montgomery Advertiser), Left In Alabama, and The World Around You.

I also got a kick out of him naming this site one of the blogs with the best names:

The best named blogs on the list: Doc’s Political Parlor & Lawn Mower Repair (Ala.), Rum, Romanism, Rebellion (Ariz.), My Left Nutmeg (Conn.), The Old River Road (La.), Writes Like She Talks (Ohio), Not Larry Sabato (Va.) and Horses Ass (Wash.)

For most Alabama political bloggers, blogging is a labor of love, and it’s nice when anyone appreciates and takes notice of what you are doing.

As I say, keep reading. You’ll find some things that you’ll like, others that you won’t, some things that you will find here first, and others that you won’t find anywhere else.
