It’s the end of the year and that means LISTS! Over at Illinois Observer, David Ormsby has assembled the rankings of the top 50 Illinois websites and Publius Forum shows up at number 13 on that list.
Seeing as how we few, we unlucky few conservatives in Illinois live in a bloo, bloo state, it is not surprising that most of the sites are lib sites. But there are some great conservative sites represented in the list, as well.
Here are the conservative/libertarian blogs as they appear ranked (the number to the right is the Alexia ranking):
- 5. Capitol Fax/Rich Miller 49,942
- 6. The Illinois Observer 79.404
- 8. Illinois Review 90,287
- 9. Chicago Daily Observer 147,031
- 10. McHenry County Blog 151,021
- 11. Marathon Pundit 162,282
- 13. Publius Forum 205,452
- 15. Quincy Pundit 227,442
- 16. Cao’s Blog 231,396
- 18. Tom Roeser 330,654
- 19. Illinois Policy Institute Blog 510,260

- 22. Chicago News Bench 618,295
