New Blog Showcase Carnival

Hello everyone and thanks for jumping over to the October 17th edition of the New Blog Showcase Carnival! Sadly, when I checked the showcase email I noticed that there were no submissions this week. So I've decided to feature a few new political blogs which I've noticed pop up over the past couple of months. Three blogs from the right and three from the left are featured.

The Right

First we go to Sydney Carton's blog, Aggressive Conservative, where he has been following the Harriet Miers confirmation. He points out the fact that Hugh Hewitt has made quite a few "stupid arguments" in defense of the Miers nomination. Sydney is one of the best new voices in the conservative blogging arena and his blog is well worth a read no matter what side of the fence you prefer.

Next we move on to Capitol Junkie's blog, The Rail, where he has spent a great deal of time following the Tom DeLay indictment. He has recently indexed the links on his blog of his extensive DeLay coverage. Well worth a read.

Next we check out Mr. Right as he points out the laughable hypocrisy of the left as two PETA employees are charged with animal cruelty in North Carolina.

The Left

Now me move on to the left where we find Praxxus and his thoughts on the recent probable passing of the Iraqi constitution.

Sportin' Life has commentary about the Miers nomination and he, along with many conservatives on the right as well, wonders why there has been so much assurance of Miers based on her religious beliefs as opposed to any proven jurisprudence.

RenaRF has pointed out on her blog, On the Left Tip, an alphabetical listing of Senators and their stance on Harriet Miers. 28 Republican and Independent Senators are listed as being neutral at this point while only 2 are directly opposed to her nomination.

Well, that concludes this week's edition of the New Blog Showcase Carnival. Next week's carnival will be hosted at CyberVassals.

If you have a blog that is less than 3 months old, feel free to submit it to be featured in an upcoming carnival. For more information take a look at the main Showcase site where you'll find instructions on how to enter your blog on the main post which is permanently pinned at the top.
