As one of the featured blogs on wisopinion.com, ""The Xoff Files"" gives an enormously comprehensive view into Wisconsin politics. Focusing on issues as specific as City Council meetings and the race for police chief of Milwaukee, the blog's founder, Bill ""Xoff"" Christofferson, clearly knows what he is talking about. 

 

Coming from the left—he was Gov. Jim Doyle's campaign manager for the 2002 election—Xoff has maintained his active voice in commenting on Wisconsin politics and brings an expertise that is rarely seen in the blogosphere today. 

 

Beyond local and state issues, Xoff has also been known to go off on national politics, usually focusing on the war in Iraq and Republicans in Congress.  

 

One feature of The Xoff Files, which is not unique to his blog and appears regularly on left-leaning blogs sponsored by wisopinion, is the Wisconsin BlogWire feature. 

 

Powered by LeftyBlogs, the always-updating BlogWire links to recent posts from other Wisconsin blogs. 

 

Xoff is not without his detractors, however, as commenters often take him head on. Either way, The Xoff Files delivers a steady stream of political commentary, acting equally as a forum to bash the right and argue with the left.
