Many BlogCatalog members have asked us for a place on BlogCatalog to talk politics and connect with with other bloggers over political discussions. Today, we are excited to announce the launch of the BlogCatalog Political Channel located at http://www.blogcatalog.com/politics. The BlogCatalog Political Channel is a place where bloggers can have their political voices heard, engage in political debate, increase their blog’s exposure and participate in a lively discussion about the US election or any other political topic of interest.

An Exclusive Political Discussion Area

Just like the BlogCatalog main discussions, the Political Discussions are designed to be a place where conversation can flow freely and bloggers can engage one another in political discussion.

Join in on the political discussion at http://www.blogcatalog.com/politics/discuss

Political Posts Highlighted

We know that many of your posts don’t get the exposure they deserve. The political channel is designed to highlight your latest political posts and make it really easy for anyone to browse and search all political posts.

We’ve made it even easier than before to join or create a political group. Political groups are highly focused, mini-discussion areas designed for you to connect at a closer level with other politically minded bloggers or simply read what politically minded bloggers are saying about more specific issues and parties.

With all the excitement and emotion surrounding the 2008 Election, political blogging, and the many hot political issues around the globe, we hope that the political channel becomes a place where bloggers can engage in passionate, informative dialog that promotes the vital importance of freedom of expression.
