Doug Muder may be the best political writer you never heard of. He publishes a blog called The Weekly Sift with his personal take on the ever-changing political scene. Though he's clearly liberal in his politics, he does his homework and names his sources.
Not only does he study the stump speeches, but he reads and thinks about the books written by and about the candidate ...
"What I was looking for in Hillary’s books was a consistent author’s
voice. I believe writers always reveal more about themselves than they
intend. ... It’s in their word choices, the
tone of the stories they tell, the metaphors they use, ... If Hillary really wrote
those books — and after reading them, I strongly believe she did — then
her character must be in there somewhere, no matter what image she may
have wanted to project."
The series now includes Hillary, Bernie, Ted, and the others.
