Instapundit is awesome. I had a professor at U of I recommend his blog to me and I've enjoyed the stories he links to since. He is a must read for anyone interested in politics and new media. The cool thing about Instapundit is that he really only links to stories, readers are forced to make their own interpretations.
Also the Drudge Report is another great political site. It isn't exactly a blog but here's a link: http://www.drudgereport.com/
