Sullivan, A. ( 2008, March 15) The daily dish. Retrieved March 15, 2008, from http://andrewsullivan.theatlantic.com/

Author Andrew Sullivan is one of the most widely read political webloggers on the internet. Sullivan is considered a pioneer in weblogging because he is one of the first prominent journalists to start his own blog. Although he was born in England, he covers mostly American politics. Sullivan served as the editor of the New Republic magazine for several years in addition to originally providing his blog through Time magazine. His conservative commentary at odds with other conservatives shows how not everyone on the same side of the political divide will always agree about policy.
