Default Good Political Blogs

I did a search for the politics forum and found 1 relevant thread entitled "Where do you get your information" but there were not many good political blogs, just links to mainstream news sources like Google News, BBC and CNN. So if you could all share your favorite Political Blogs, I would be very appreciative

I need good sources ranging from the wacky right, to the wacky left, and everything in between. I need blogs with discussion and analysis as well as news and information, so if you know of anything please share it

thanks a lot guys

Realclearpolitics.com (there's a blog part too, but I really only go there for the actual news stories)
Others:
powerlineblog.com
coxandforkum.com
littlegreenfootballs.com/weblog
instapundit.com
michellemalkin.com

Mind you these are all fairly right-wing, even though I'm drifting away from the hardcore social conservative side. Any libertarians here know of some good blogs?

www.catallarchy.net has a ridiculous about of links to libertarian-esque blogs. Look on the right under 'blogroll'.

Two Swedish libertarian blogs in English:

www.spectator.se/stambord/

Written by American ex-pats. Often writes about the heavy anti-American bias in Swedish/European media.

www.johannorberg.net

About globalisation and free trade etc from the author of this book

The Huffington Post and DailyKos are pretty wacky left blog hubs.

It would help if this was broken down into two categories.

The first would be a clearinghouse for the "all-star" links of the day, whether they are links to opinion pieces, stories, or columns. I like RealClearPolitics for this. They do a great job on links to the day's right leaning columns and opinion pieces, and they are fair in that they do a good job posting links to the most important and talked about left leaning material. Drudge has an interesting hodgepodge.

I'd like to add something similar from the left, if for no other reason than to know where Andy Fox is coming from [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img].

The second would mostly center around the blogger's opinions with links outward. Instapundit and Glen Reynolds seemed to be top bloggers a few years back, but I really don't know who's worth reading (e.g Wonkett?) today on limited time.
