20 Top Political Forums of 2007
If I'd known how addictive chatting in political forums could be, I would have started one on Pollyticks long ago, and if I had a nickel for every hour I've spent writing long-winded opinions to forum members on the Arab-Israeli conflict, Catholicism on the U.S. Supreme Court, or any number of other topics, I'd be a rich man! OK, not rich, but I'd have another $5.
What follows aren't complete reviews of these sites and everything each has to offer. These are only reviews of their community discussion forums. I tried to stick to sites running traditional forum software, like phpBB and vBulletin, as opposed to comment blogs, with a few exceptions here for notorious blogs like Daily Kos, Huffington Post and Free Republic. Here you'll find forums on the left, forums on the right, and forums in the middle.
Just FYI, the name of the forum is bold, with the link and review underneath. Thanks to everyone who took time to build forums and recruit members. Your efforts have helped foster debate….

A traditional forum layout. Not much to say about this one. It's still small and doesn't look like much from the outside, but inside it's quaint and cozy, particularly if you're conservative, but even if you're not. Categories include all the basics, as well as colorful ones like War & Peace, The White House, Capitol Hill, State & Local Politics, Popular Crime Stories & Trials, and more. Site claims to have 4,334 members who've posted 968,496 times.

[Emphasis mine] Quaint and cozy...hmmm...rather like I'm in the comfy chair, waiting for the Spanish Inquisition. But this is good. It's comfy enough to keep you here but not too comfy that you are bored.
Good review, IMHO...and a link to boot.
