After a couple of weeks of fighting the fact that several of the ranking sites have either been down or made changes to their site that I had to rewrite my data harvesting routines, everything is finally back on track. Last week, Compete made several changes and I was able to fix it, so the standings for last week verses this week are correct.
With the elections out of the way, I should have more time to concentrate on producing these standings on a weekly basis.
The lefty blog Not Larry Sabato moved up a spot to the # 4 blog in the state, which is not surprising during an election cycle featuring Virginia Politics. Not Larry is known for great in depth analysis of state based politics.
Black Velvet Bruce Li shot up 144% as Virginia Election coverage is a top priority in reader’s minds.
Here are the rankings!
