2009 Top 21 Social Media Superstars: Jim VandeHei, Executive Editor/Co-Founder, Politico.com
As executive editor and co-creator of Politico.com (along with John F. Harris, his former boss at the Washington Post, where he was a national political reporter), Wisconsin native Jim VandeHei is one of the prime  movers and shakers of a site that is at the forefront when it comes to incisive and weighty political news coverage. Having cut his teeth as a political reporter at a number of important publications, such as Roll Call and the Wall Street Journal, VandeHei has transferred his pundit-like knowledge of the political machinery to digital in a way that is fresh and a departure from the usual boilerplate regurgitation of this beat. During the historic 2008 election campaign, Politico became the go-to resource for all those interested in following the breaking developments, culminating in 11 million unique visitors per month at its high point.
