Bill Oesterle (Angie's List co-founder and head dude) ran Mitch Daniels' successful campaign for governor of Indiana in 2004. The company is well known for employing Republican campaign operatives when they are in between elections, etc. I have friends who work at Angie's List and they do provide a useful service, but there's no surprise that they advertise on right wing media. That's just who they are.
