You be me for a while/And I'll be you*
Liberal blogger Chris Bowers at MyDD speculates on how and why the MSM cover liberal political blogs and suggests that liberals are better at using blogs to advance their political agenda than conservatives. Oddly enough, another liberal, Steve at No More Mr. Nice Blog, thinks Chris has it exactly backwards, that conservatives have figured out that blogs aren't useful for what Chris thinks and have chosen to use their blogs in other ways.
I'm slightly more inclined toward Steve's take than Chris's, but that's just my impression, not any kind of empirical observation. At any rate, they both raise some good questions about the uses and effectiveness of political blogs.
