What are Your Daily Reads?
I always find it interesting, the sources on which people rely for information about the world around them. Here’s my current list of Monday through Friday regulars.
The Moderate Voice (surprise!)
Real Clear Politics ** (including The Scorecard blog, a joint project with Politico)
Politico (including Ben Smith’s and Jonathan Martin’s blogs)
Andrew Sullivan/The Daily Dish
Memeorandum **
Of course, this list is not the sole extent of what I read. I also spend time with many other sources, including the print editions of our local daily newspaper, The Economist, and Foreign Affairs, among others. That said, the sources listed above are the ones I frequent most often.
So … what’s on your list?
* The brains behind this site belong to Nate Silver. He’s a rising star. Consider this profile, published in June, in Newsweek.
** I visit these sites primarily as aggregators of, portals into, other diverse sources, from both the MSM and new media.

I use a crystal ball….lol.. ; )
Sil — is your ball broken? Odds of a Clinton presidency are now millions to one. You're better off betting on your state lottery.

Foreign Affairs is good substantial reading. (Don't forget the classic phrase from the essay there by the “neo-cons”: “Benevolent global hegemony.” Where?) Economist and Financial Times are _de_rigeur_ for airplane trips in addition to the Wall Street Journal as baseline daily or weekly reading.
For those who don't know, the Wall Street Journal is better written than other newspapers, as a confident rule. The first thing you'll do when you read it is to SLOW DOWN compared to how you've gone through more lightweight reading in other newspapers. Unlike the rest of the liberal mainstream media, the editorializing, in this case with the Journal, the conservative “stuff” is put on the editorial pages, though there is liberal op-ed material from time to time as well there. Al Hunt used to be a standard Thursday “fixture” in that newspaper, too.
I read a lot of other sources as time permits — newspapers, magazines, etc.
We'll see. The crystal ball is almost never wrong.. ; )
I feel so politically unmotivated. I read TMV and an AP news feed from Yahoo. That's pretty much it.
