Power Line is an American conservative^[1]^[2]^[3] or right-leaning^[4] political blog,^[5]^[6] founded in May 2002. Its posts were originally written by three lawyers who attended Dartmouth College together, namely John H. Hinderaker, Scott W. Johnson, and Paul Mirengoff. Contributors initially wrote under pen names; John Hinderaker, for example, wrote as "Hindrocket."^[7]^[8] The site is published by Joseph Malchow, also a Dartmouth graduate.

The site gained recognition for its role in covering the Killian documents story that aired during the 2004 Presidential campaign about forged documents relating to President George W. Bush's term of service in the Texas Air National Guard.^[9]

In 2004, Power Line was named Time magazine's first-ever "Blog of the Year".^[10] When AOL added blogs to their news website in 2007, Power Line was one of the five blogs included.^[11]^[12] A 2007 memo from the National Republican Senatorial Committee described Power Line as one of the five best-read national conservative blogs.^[13] CBS News described Powerline as "a prominent conservative blog."^[14]
