All Blogotics is Local

Are you a blogger with an intense focus on local or state politics? Or are you a politics junkie who's noticed that your local paper or TV station isn't the only place where political news breaks anymore? Locally-focused political blogs are steadily coming into their own, and their unique blend of passionate engagement, wry observation, on- and off-line community and freewheeling conversation are started to affect the dynamics of local political campaigns and issues. Politicos of all stripes ignore them at their peril. Want to suggest a blog? Write to blogs@personaldemocracy.com and include a short description.
