The Webbys were announced this week. These best of the Web awards cover a multitude of categories. In politics, two of my favorite sites were honored. The campaign finance site OpenSecrets.org won the Webby and FactCheck.org won the People's Voice Award.

Both are non-partisan sites that provide useful information. (I see Adam Wilson at The Olympian is also a FactCheck fan, but he warns, "FactCheck is probably too much for the casual news consumer, but for those who want to get down to the nitty-grits, it's well worth the time." I figure if you're reading PoP you're plenty gritty enough to find the site useful.)

What other great political sites are out there? What would you nominate? And by that I mean sites like OpenSecrets and FactCheck that provide data and research. There are plenty of sites that provide commentary and ideological spins on the news. I'd be interested in developing a list of the best political resource tools on the Web.

One I'd put on my list is the Public Disclosure Commission's site. It is one of the best campaign finance sites in the country and gets a lot of use in my office.
