Liza Porteus Viana has been a political journalist for almost 10 years, both in Washington and New York. She loves politics - the smell of it, the sport of it - but not the partisanship that goes with it. Can't tell if she's on the Left or the Right? That's good. She likes a good mystery... When not writing for PoliticsDaily, Liza writes for Women on the Web, a venture of women in media and publishing, including Leslie Stahl, Joni Evans, Liz Smith and Cynthia McFadden. She also writes for HSToday and Worth magazines, FOXNews.com, Intellectual Property Watch and other media outlets. You can follow her on Facebook and Digg.
