Bob Geiger

Writer, Former Political Blogger

United States

I am a former political blogger who wrote about the U.S. Senate on my own site (BobGeiger.com) and contributed to The Huffington Post, Alternet and other online publications.

My work has also appeared in major daily newspapers including the San Francisco Examiner, the Cleveland Plain Dealer and the New York Journal News.

I'm currently researching a book on the Best and Worst U.S. Senators in American history.
