Does Rob Willington have a blog? I feel like he should be on this list. @willington

I’m sure there are others. Some of these aren’t bloggers per se but they’re part of the conversation happening on Twitter, which is really what you’re pointing to.
Going to add a couple more, but yes, I’m biased

This is one of the worst lists I have ever seen. Pathetic, guys.
I think this would be a better post if it were titled “Top 50 Circle Jerks” or “50 ways to live in a neo-conservative bubble and think it’s reality”.
This is a great list or which I follow most. Many of these are Must Follows if you run with the conservative circle. There are a couple here that I haven’t been following but I’ll certainly add them to my twitter list. Thanks!
