PunditWire

PunditWire is a news commentary site featuring contributors from across the political spectrum who are all current or former political speechwriters. Launched on September 13, 2010, the content on PunditWire varies in scope - from foreign policy to campaigns and elections to civil rights and political rhetoric. The website is sponsored by American University in Washington, D.C. and was conceived by American University Professor Leonard Steinhorn, a former political speechwriter and strategist, and Robert Lehrman, adjunct professor in the School of Communication at American University and former speechwriter for Al Gore.

Every contributor to PunditWire is or has been a political speechwriter. These contributors have worked on political campaigns, Capitol Hill, and in the White House. PunditWire is a forum for these speechwriters to post their own commentary on current affairs.

PunditWire articles feature insider perspectives from the people who normally write for politicians. The goal of the website is to provide commentary that gives readers special insight into the language of politics.

PunditWire features daily quotes provided by American University's Simpson Fellows who continue the mission of Reverend James Simpson's Contemporary Quotations: The Most Notable Quotes From 1950 to the Present.
