AOL launches new Web site covering politics

Per TechCrunch, AOL today launched PoliticsDaily, a "news magazine" focusing on politics. The site will provide in-depth political commentary as opposed to breaking news. Contributors include Walter Shapiro and Jill Lawrence, formerly of the USA Today; Lynn Sweet of the Chicago Sun-Times; and Patricia Murphy, founder of Citizen Jane Politics.

Initial reviews from Twitterers praised the site:
