Praise for Political Wire

“There are a lot of blogs and news sites claiming to understand politics, but only a few actually do. Political Wire is one of them.”

— Chuck Todd, host of “Meet the Press”

“Concise. Relevant. To the point. Political Wire is the first site I check when I’m looking for the latest political nugget. That pretty much says it all.”

— Stuart Rothenberg, editor of the Rothenberg Political Report

“Political Wire is one of only four or five sites that I check every day and sometimes several times a day, for the latest political news and developments.”

— Charlie Cook, editor of the Cook Political Report

“The big news, delicious tidbits, pearls of wisdom — nicely packaged, constantly updated… What political junkie could ask for more?”

— Larry Sabato, Center for Politics, University of Virginia

“Political Wire is a great, great site.”

— Joe Scarborough, host of MSNBC’s “Morning Joe”

“Taegan Goddard has a knack for digging out political gems that too often get passed over by the mainstream press, and for delivering the latest electoral developments in a sharp, no frills style that makes his Political Wire an addictive blog habit you don’t want to kick.”

— Arianna Huffington, founder of The Huffington Post

Frequently Asked Questions

I’m having trouble logging in.

Check the security setting of your browser: if you have disabled 3rd-party cookies then Political Wire‘s membership software won’t work. Either use another browser or change your setting; after you register/login you can change the setting back for a good long while.

Once you’re logged, you should stay logged in for two weeks before needing to log in again.

If you’re having problems, it often helps to clear your browser cache.

Does my membership automatically renew?

Yes, but you can easily turn off auto-renew in your account dashboard.

Can I switch from a monthly to an annual plan?

Yes, just go to your account dashboard and select the annual plan. You’ll be switched after your current monthly subscription period ends.

Can I give a subscription as a gift?

Yes, but the process is manual. The best way is to log out, buy a new membership, then cancel auto-renew (if you desire) and change the email to the new person. It’s not a perfect solution but it does work.

Can I use PayPal?

Political Wire uses Stripe for payments. They’re a lot like PayPal, but with simpler pricing (no hidden fees), a cleaner interface, and more modern security features that don’t require us to ever see sensitive customer credit card data.
