Here’s a preliminary list of polisci blogs from my ongoing census.
For the purporse of categorization, I am including all blogs from practicing academics* with terminal degrees** who study politics (as such, some of the bloggers have degrees in policy or stats).

Again: if I am missing you, or a blog you know of, please let me know.

**Some of the group blogs includes some abds. I am also compiling gradute student blogs as I encounter them.
