Our Guest Bloggers
Another Opinion
Paul Hosse’ thoughtful Blog is for people “who think for themselves.” Here is some independent insight from the upper south.
Bill for Dog Catcher
An occasional blog full of good humor and common sense written by a self-described “progressive conservative.”
Booker Rising
“Booker” refers to the great, underappreciated reformer Booker T. Washington — and this is the leading site for moderate and conservative African Americans.
Buck Naked Politics
The motto of this non-partisan (but highly opinionated) blog is “We strip off the gloss.” Guest columnists contribute to the spirited discourse.
The Campaign Season
Lively commentary by Brad Templeman, with an emphasis on electoral politics and plenty of video clips.
The Center Lane
A moderate blog unafraid of sounding radical when provoked by outrages to common sense.
Centerfield
Official site of the Centrist Coalition, a small confederation of selected moderate bloggers. Irregularly updated, with a few too many dead links.
Centrist Pundits
“Two guys in the middle of the road, trying not to get run over.” Opinionated, fun and decidedly centrist.
Cobb
Bills itself as “Curious, skeptical, analytical.” Smart, quirky and unbiased too. The Cobb of the title is not Ty but Michael David Cobb Bowen, a black neoconservative pragmatist of the Chicago school.
ComingAnarchy.com
An informed blog on politics and world affairs written by three anonymous authors. Quirky but good.
Connecting.The.Dots
Serious, fair-minded commentary (and plenty of it) by a member of The Greatest Generation, Robert Stein, retired chairman of the American Society of Magazine Editors.
The Debate Link
Sharp, unbiased and voluminous political commentary by a smart young University of Chicago law student.
Donklephant
One of the more popular sites catering to independent and open-minded political thinkers. More news than opinion. Bipartisan, nonpartisan and devoid of ideology.
The Hankster
By Nancy Hanks, a committed political independent and populist.
The League of Ordinary Gentlemen
Lively, nonideological political chitchat by nine gentlemen of various persuasions, which adds up to a lot of chitchat. But it’s quality chitchat.
LOUDelf
Unlikely name for a centrist blog, but we won’t dispute its agreeably moderate political perspective. Neither will you.
Moderate Thinking
Modest but meaningful one-man blog by young foreign service officer (and former Mormon missionary) Nils Bergeson, who also runs a popular group by the same name on Facebook.
The Moderate Voice
The HuffingtonPost of the center: big, brash and successful, with an almost overwhelming abundance of news, columns and reader comments.
ModerateVoters.org
A centrist grassroots organization and news aggregator, with a special section of news stories about moderate politics and ideas.
The New Centrist
An anonymous history professor’s blog full of intellectually meaty content and links to interesting yet under-reported stories. The New Centrist is particularly concerned with international issues relating to liberty and human rights.
The New Moderate
Impassioned and often humorous commentary by our own Rick Bayan, designed to light a fire under the great silent middle. Check out the heated three-way debates (right, left and center) on the hot-button issues of our times.
The ’Skeeter Bites Report
Don’t let the folksy name fool you: here’s insightful weekly commentary on global stories from a self-styled fiscal conservative/social liberal (an increasingly common subspecies of centrist).
The Washington Note
Serious (but not humorless) in-depth commentary on national and international news by Steve Clemons and other contributors.
Vodka Pundit
“Sober” is not the word for this kooky but well-written and well-established nonpartisan blog, part of the Pajamas Media empire.
