If you’ve been following the 2008 presidential campaign here in the US, you’ve undoubtedly heard mention of The Politico. In just a little over a year, it’s gone from a brand new startup site to a must-read for those interested in political coverage. (It certainly hasn’t hurt that The Politico is helmed by two very well-regarded ex-Washington Post journalists, John Harris and Jim VandeHei).
For those of us completely obsessed with this year’s campaign, the Politico is home to one of the best political bloggers online, Ben Smith. Smith is also an active, excellent curator of topical online political videos, mining YouTube and other sites for the freshest, most relevant coverage throughout the day.
And happily for those of us who are campaign junkies, those videos are now getting collected in a pod, and can be watched both on Ben’s blog (with one of our widgets) and on Vodpod. Here’s a screenshot of Ben’s widget on The Politico:
