The great thing about the blogsphere is that it is as level a playing field as our modern culture can provide. Everyone has exactly the same size “printing press.”

The liberal blogs started out 2002 at a severe disadvantage to the conservative side, but they have now eclipsed that to the point where the Great Orange Satan draws as many visitors as the top four or five conservative blogs put together.

I would suggest that the liberal blogs’ message, rather than the means of delivering it, has resonated with readers. The conservative bloggers’ problem is not structure, but content that no one cares to read any more, since the current administration has corrupted the idea of conservatism as a political standard, and since the conservative blogs have been proven wrong so many times over the last few years.

“Hey, let’s invade Iraq! It won’t cost much and it will be over in a few weeks after we find the WMD and everyone throws flowers!”

Not.

Rallying behind a 28% approval rating is not going to bring much success.
