At first read I felt great...then I started thinking can something like political blogs hurt us in anyway...what if they try to determine people poitical views on a certain subject and it backfires? Just a thought....
Rose, there are so many political blogs out there that it is very possible that bloggers could tip the scales on a certain issue. But remember this: Historically, mainstream journalism also has been very influential in some of its coverage. As I see it, the only difference is that technology has upped the ante. If you read Mannies' article, many politicians in the region say they definitely keep their eyes on blogs.
