Mission
From the About Us on Web site: “For all the hype — and let’s not delude ourselves, there’s A LOT of hype — too many blogs are contributing to the coarsening of American discourse… The goal of PoliticalMavens.com is to serve as a forum of enlightenment in an effort to clarify one’s thinking.”

The About Us page goes on explain that PoliticalMavens.com promotes the writings of experienced journalists instead of bloggers with less experience. No author of the About Us page is listed, though some personal testimony and credentials are described: “As a former rabbinical student who spent years studying the Talmud, I know a thing or two about debate... It’s about informed analysis rather than speculation. And, most importantly, it’s about being passionate.”
