Hi Kelmarz,
The thing you may want to consider about political blogs is the mix of monetization and credibility.
If you try to profit from all the controversy, people may accuse your intention of starting topics just to make money, and you may lose credibility.
I know of a person who has an extremely popular political blog in Malaysia, but to preserve his credibility he just cant afford to put Adsense etc on the blog. It's sad cause he gets about 30,000 visitors a DAY
On the other hand, if you want to get public recognition and probably run as a senator, it would be a great "monetization" strategy
