Best Lefty Blogs?
I follow the following religiously:

Atrios
Talking Points Memo
DailyKos

And to a lesser extent Alterman's and Franken's.

There are too many to keep track of, but are there any other biggies I shold be keeping an eye on?

2. MyDD, Informed Comment, James Wolcott, Copyfight, SCOTUSblog
and Political Animal are my personal favs (as well as those in your post...TPM is by far the best IMHO)

4. I do not think any of those are "Lefty" blogs.
They are Democratic party blogs, to be sure. But not really lefty blogs.

8. You can't go wrong with Atrios's blogroll
I particularly like Orcinus, who monitors racism, nativism, and hate groups; Slacktivist, a serious Christian who skewers the born-agains; Hullabaloo a/k/a Digby, who writes the best think pieces now that Billmon has retired; and Suburban Guerrilla, who's like a more bedraggled Atrios.

And, not on his blogroll (why not?), I like Mark A.R. Kleiman, an economist who pays close attention to the War on (Some) Drugs; and Kevin Drum a/k/a Political Animal.

And be sure to read Will Pitt on Truthout.

10. A couple of my favorite
Jeanne D'Arc of http://bodyandsoul.typepad.com/

And www.pandagon.net.

There are lots of others, too, of course, but those were a couple I just thought of in addition to many of the others mentioned in this thread.
