Just as a historical note, in this era I find the most interesting/useful sites for keeping up on basic day-to-day election news to be the following:
And a Twitter list which follows these accounts:
- Newsy feeds: @politicalwire @TPM @TPMLiveWire
- Actual political figures: @MittRomney @GovHowardDean
- Poll watching machine: @fivethirtyeight
- Liberalish media: @upwithchris @chrislhayes @maddow @TNCposts
- Bloggers: @digby56 @HunterDK
- Old-style-conservative takes: @davidfrum @conor64
I followed these accounts because they gave me a good balance between informative/timely on the one hand and not a bloody firehose of updates on the other. (That's why @barackobama was not included - too chatty.)
Suggestions for other qualifying feeds gratefully accepted.
