Way back in 2004, when John Kerry was challenging George W. Bush for the highest office in the land, few Americans had ever heard the word blog – let alone spent much of their free time devouring the most passionate and incisive among them. What a difference an embattled administration makes!


Today, blogging is not only the New Journalism, it’s a major force in shaping our nation’s political opinions. So it should come as no surprise that FOX News Radio selected eight of BlogTalkRadio’s most passionate and incisive hosts to voice their opinions about Election 2008 in the mainstream.



From Oct. 6 -10, four hosts from our Heading Left Channel and four from Heading Right squared off in Election 2008: Battle of the Blog Talkers, a tournament to determine America’s best blog talker from each side of the political spectrum.



On Monday, Oct. 13, “FOX Across America” host Spencer Hughes, announced the winners from each faction, who will go on to co-host a full week of Election 2008 specials with him beginning October 20.


And those victorious BlogTalkRadio hosts are: David McLaughlin of Rome, Ga., and Kevin Ross of Los Angeles, who have bee crowned America’s Best Blog Talkers for the left and right, respectively.
