Goddard is offering a $100 Amazon.com gift certificate to each of five bloggers who do the most helpful job of explaining why they read Political Wire. Since Political Wire is, in fact, one of the blogs I read every day, I’ll take a shot at saying why. Raw Story and Huffington Post bring me up to speed on the stories exercising the left wing of the blogosphere. Kevin Drum and Josh Marshall are usually fun to read. MyDD and Raising Kaine are my grassroots fix. Political Wire, however, is where I got for serious information on what’s going on that no one else seems to cover. Like today, for example, the story about the new White House Chef who, appropriately enough, is the author of a book Desserts for Dummies.
