Women Political Bloggers - Celebrating Another 100 From Our List of Over 500

Posted by Catherine Morgan on August 8, 2008

All week we have been celebrating women political bloggers.

Monday, I posted on the first 100 women blogging politics, from our list of over 500. Tuesday, the next 100. Wednesday, the next 100. Thursday the next 100. And today, I will be posting the last part of our list of 100+ women political bloggers.

One of my goals for this site, is that women will use each other’s sites, to link to in their own blogs, and promote each other.

You can help promote women political bloggers, by linking to them on your own blog. And, if you know someone not on the list, please send me their link, and I would be happy to add them. -)

Maybe you can even do a post on women political bloggers for your own site, and link to some of the women on this list.

So, here is the next 100 on our list…

McCain’s emissary Carly Fiorina reached out to Hillary voters in New York.
