All that to tout the power and sway of 300 bloggers?
Thats a pathetic start, even if it is supposed to be “under wraps.”
These new “gatekeepers” are just ex-Dan Rathers looking to compete where us FReepers still stomp about like King Kong.
I say “Bring It!”
I wouldn’t just dismiss the Koz Boyz out of hand, there are a few attempts among folks like Delay and according to Fox, “Two DC insiders want to start a organization like Kos to support the war on terror”
The mark foley debacle along with the Ted Grizzard gay prostitute bomb shell were also internet directed (dis)information campaigns that were blogger and ‘Net directed.
27 years ago, believe it or not, direct mail campaigns were one of the “keys” to Reagen’s victory and they kept Jesse Helms in office for several terms.
IMO though, I don’t see Conservatives taking marching orders from some blogger out on the “net I do see a need to have some direction for Conservatives to take, the MSM simply loves to point out that Hussein and Billary have 100,000 and 50,000 ‘Net donors respectively.
I'm a FReeper as well as a blogger - and to be honest with you , I'm quite impressed at the organizational efforts made by our misguided liberal adversaries even if I do disagree with their message.
On our side we have no effective counterbalance to effectively combat the left - I wouldn't go so far as to say we are winning, we are in many respects losing on a few fronts.
Talk radio we pretty much control, but the blogosphere is one where we don't seem to be advancing.
