2 Political Junkies named in Washington Post's The Fix’s best state-based political blogs

2 Political Junkies was named in Washington Post's The Fix’s Best State-based Political Blogs for 2011. We were also named in 2009 (there was no list for 2010). We are the only PA blog to make both lists (which may say more about our obsessiveness than anything else).

We thank The Fix and WE THANK OUR READERS!

Here are the other winners for Pennsylvania:





Congratulations to all!

I'll be on PCNC’s "NightTalk: Get to the Point" tomorrow night

I'll be a panelist on tomorrow's PCNC TV's NightTalk: Get to the Point (Channel 35 on Comcast.)

The show will air live on Friday, July 22nd from 8:00 PM to 9:00 PM (with repeats at 10:00 PM and 2:00 AM).

The program commonly features conversation on a wide range of topics local to Pittsburgh, the Southwestern Pennsylvania region and some national items. Expect anything from the Pittsburgh Pirates to Marcellus Shale.

The host will be P.J. Maloney.

Also appearing will be Dale McCoy whose Blue Collar Commentary blog can be found on conservative radio host Glen Meaken's website. I heard that McCoy describes himself as a "Tea Party Democrat." (Say what?) Don't know who the third panelist will be.

Tune in -- it should be interesting!

PoliticsPA recently set about determining what are the best political blogs in Pennsylvania. Deservedly won were:

Best Print-Backed Blog: Early Returns, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

And, then there was this:

How did you find us?

Apparently many are finding us the past couple of weeks by searching for images of "Sarah Palin Rudolph" and getting to this post via this image:

Happy to oblige!
