I don't agree with his views, but he had a good website. Hopefully, a conservative (perhaps Freeper) can pick up the slack by founding his or her own election website.

I'd often check his website, too, and wasn't so bad (his personal opinions aside), though the comments section were often a little too "out there." I can certainly sympathize with Ron, having to work full time, maintain the website (accumulating the stories and keeping abreast of candidates and websites, all of which isn't that easy), and then have enough time for yourself. I'm a contributor to "The Political Graveyard" and know the man who operates it (a liberal Dem officeholder in Michigan), and having to do all the updates and checks with a database of well over 100,000 names is overwhelming (too much of the problem with Ron and Larry Kestenbaum (the TPG owner) is that they are the only ones that do the actual day-to-day operation. Having several people working on them would tend to remedy these problems of owner burnout and "lack of creativity" as a result.

"I don't agree with his views, but he had a good website."



I thought the website went down the drain when he started his blog. It was great when he merely posted election news, and back then it didn't have that much liberal bias. But the state pages in which he listed all of the officeholders and candidates, with links to their campaign websites and to other pertinent sites, will be sorely missed.
