T.J. Rooney, Pennsylvania's Democratic Party chairman, says he checks it five or six times a day. Republican Sen. Arlen Specter peruses it on Fridays on the train home to Philadelphia.

And scores of politicos and reporters across the Keystone State and in Washington are constantly clicking on www.PoliticsPA.com, a must-read for Pennsylvania's political junkies.

Launched in October 2001, PoliticsPA is the sister site to political Web pages that focus on state and local politics in New Jersey, New York, New Hampshire and Vermont. All five sites post daily briefings of newspaper stories and political commentary, supplemented with features that are more spicy than scientific, such as online polls and rankings of power people. ---

"I think they go to more lengths to ensure their integrity than most would presume," Rooney said. "It isn't as helter-skelter as all that."
