A very useful overview for those viewing American
politics from afar. Left leaning does not mean his
views are swamped down with agenda, about as balanced
as they get from the US.

Chris Is Highly Visible

April 11, 2009

Chris is successful. Chris is visible. He has a track
record. He happens to be liberal. He writes well. He
has his corner at the Washington Post website: The Fix.
He brings his extensive knowledge of presidential and
congressional politics to bear in his writings. He
maintains a presence on Twitter. He has made many
appearances on some major media outlets. That does not
surprise me.

His writing style conveys depth and density of
information. He does not pretend to be neutral, but he
does not come across as having an ax to grind.

Political commentator in multiple media

April 07, 2009

I've read Chris Cillizza's stuff in the Post, and seen
him on MSNBC, and overall he stands out from the rest
of the political blogosphere. He differentiates himself
by being much more readable than a lot of other
political writers. Cillizza is a reliably good read.

One of the best

April 03, 2009

Through his appearances on MSNBC and fluid writing,
Cillizza has carved out a niche as one of America's
most astute political commentators, bridging the
cliches of political junkiedom with the breeziness of
the layman. Highly recommended.

Prominent washing post political blogger

March 30, 2009

Cillizza is one of the best political bloggers online.
Although he doesn't post as frequently other political
bloggers, he writes insighful posts/articles on
political topics of the day
