1. I’m not a regular reader of any the current top political blogs. I read Sullivan sometimes, largely because I read McArdle and I sometimes see a title that looks interesting on the sidebar.

2. If you had asked me “What do you think are the top political blogs today,” I would have given you more names from the first list than from the second. My daily reading definitely has more from the first list.

3. I’m the same as Ragtime; obviously, my blog reading hasn’t evolved much (he says proudly, displaying his get-out-of-my-yard-you-whippersnappers! credentials).
   Though honestly, I guess that’s not quite true. I still read Yglesias and Crooked Timber. I stopped reading Marshall years ago, but only recently (thanks in part to the health care debate) have become re-addicted to his much expanded TPM operation. I got tired of Sullivan a long time back too, and him I haven’t gone back to (I’m genuine surprised the Dish still rates in the top twenty). All the cool kids discovered 538 and Nate Silver a while back, but–like with TPM–I only started regularly reading him recently.

4. Gosh, I read three of the top 20 blogs regularly, and none of the top 20 political blogs.
   Pausing to analyze my behavior, I like blogs that give you a sense of a personality behind them, not a cause or an obsessive interest in some particular item. (Also, for me, it can’t be a personality type that I spend my whole life trying to avoid, such as Upper West Side limousine liberals, or snotty gynephobic gays.)
   I hope our hostess wasn’t expecting deep or universal insights from the comments, because she has gotten only idiosyncratic, not to say narcissistic, musings.
