WatchBlog, “2004 U.S. Election News and Opinion, is a multiple-editor weblog broken up into three major political affiliations, each with its own blog: the Democrats, the Republicans and the Third Party (covering everything outside the two major parties).”
Each party is represented by a column on the site’s main page where readers may review the respective postings, or choose to click-through to each separate, topical blog. The three blogs provide an “about” link, an archives (beginning May 2003), links to party resources and candidate websites, and a form to become a “WatchBlog editor.”
