This may not constitute a diary to some, but I need to get this off my chest so if you don't like it, well tough. I hardly write diaries.
The first time I heard of Politico.com was when they took part in the democratic primary debate, co-hosted with CNN and the L.A. Times. Since then I have noticed their reporting referenced time and again in various blogs, diaries, etc.
After the debate, I assumed they must have had some kind of credibility to be co-hosting such a high profile event, so begin checking the site out as part of my usual innernet reading.
