Wonkette will probably become a must-visit site for Washington, D.C. insiders, political junkies, and a new generation that prefers humor than traditional journalistic style. It’s a blend of gossip and satire and things the author makes up. But it’s also considered an edgy political scandal sheet.

How many other political blogs are competing for the same pool of people? Politics news are everywhere, on TV and radio stations, newspapers and magazines, online portals, and so on. Will people prefer this kind of casual, sarcastic style, filled with gossips and rumors or will they just stick to traditional media?
