Robert Crowley wrote this piece about the influence of conservative v. liberal blogs for the NY Times Magazine (Michelle Malkin wasn't impressed with Crowley's assertions.) What's notable is his conclusion:
Earlier this year, John Thune, the newly elected South Dakota senator, briefed his Republican colleagues on the role of blogs in his victory over Tom Daschle, the former Democratic minority leader. The message seems to be catching on. In Arkansas, the campaign manager for the gubernatorial candidate Asa Hutchinson sent a mass e-mail message to supporters in May promoting the establishment of blogs ''to comment on Arkansas politics as a counter to liberal media.'' With the 2006 elections coming, Democrats have begun trying to use blogs more strategically. But given their head start, Stoller says, conservatives ''will certainly have an upper hand.'' Again.
