This is why I wanted to voice a dissenting opinion in regards to politics being a huge traffic draw, I have no data to back it up, but in a search for the “type of blogs [that] attract the most traffic” I would be inclined to look at a long-term average and wonder if something as seasonal (and then only on certain years) as politics would make the cut and be that high on the ranking list.
Another thing to consider is that some election years have more excitement than others so this seasonal spike won’t necessarily be the same from one cycle to the next…

Elections are seasonal that’s true, but even if I don’t earn no more from that blog and I let it die, I’ve been largely rewarded for the efforts.
Politics, isn’t only Elections.
I don’t know in your country, but where I live there is something going on politically speaking every day, altough the real spikes are only for elections.

Lifehacker, TreeHugger, PostSecret, Boing Boing, and Daily Kos have all been listed as “top blogs” in 2008. People want short interesting stories they don’t find in the mainstream media. Or to feel a connection with others who share the same ideals, goals, or lifestyles that they do.
