Amanda’s blog – pandagon.net
30 Second Rundown:
Marcotte runs the issues-oriented liberal political blog Pandagon, known for its insightful and often humorous political blogging. Before Pandagon, she was blogging at a blog called Mouse Words, which won the 2004 Koufax award for Best New Blog. At the beginning of 2008, Marcotte worked as John Edwards 2008 presidential campaign’s blogmaster, until the situation got nasty and she had to resign from the position to return to her other blogging activities.
Why She Matters:
What shot Marcotte to fame was undoubtedly her participation in John Edward’s 2008 presidential campaign. While she lasted in the position for less than two months, it was enough to bring blogging to the forefront of the public’s attention. Marcotte is a prime example on how difficult it can be to keep a personal blog separate from a blogging job. Her opinion on political issues often sparks debates and controversy, which may be why her blog is one of the most linked to political blog on the internet today.
