A Site Apart

We hope that you all read Rich Carroll's Behind Enemy Lines. It will be on the blog for all his fans to read.  Although we interjected it in our continuous favorite blog themes, Rich Carroll is one of our favorite blog writers.  Tonight we'd like to continue with the blog theme and we are featuring Real Clear Politics


We think of Real Clear Politics as an anthology of news articles, on the web.  It was Sister One's son who first referred us to it, and it's become a habit since then on - a good habit.  RCP is a very objective site, probably the most objective site on the web.  They present a comprehensive list of articles and essays from very well known journalists and periodicals, to blogs and other sited found on the web. 

RCP doesn't offer opinions, but they do gather all the polls and provide us with the RCP average poll numbers for the President's approval and disapproval ratings as well as the Congress, and the two major political parties.  It also gives us an estimate of how polled Americans feel about the direction the country is taken.  Real Clear Politics enjoys such an impeccable reputation that is its polls are often quoted my the major news outlets.


If a person is interested in reading both sides of the story, RCP is the place to go.  RCP goes beyond politics, and expands into the areas of Business, World News, and Sports.


We can't describe the mission of Real Clear Politics any better than they can.  The following comes directly from their site.
