The Blogometer: 12/3: The GOP Comeback Begins? :
Conservative bloggers are in a good mood following GOP Sen. Saxby Chambliss’s big victory over Dem challenger Jim Martin in yesterday’s runoff election in GA. Righty bloggers are highlighting the fact that Chambliss’s margin of victory yesterday was much larger than his margin of victory on Nov. 4th, when Barack Obama was on the ...... [Show More]
The Blogometer: 12/1: Turning Skeptics Into Believers :
As we’ve previously noted, liberal bloggers have been voicing concerns about the paucity of progressives among Pres.-elect Barack Obama’s cabinet picks, especially in the foreign policy realm. These bloggers are wary of NY Sen. (and incoming Sec/State) Hillary Clinton, as they’re concerned about her hawkishness and...... [Show More]
The Blogometer: 11/24: What Kind Of Change Is This? :
Last Thursday we noted that most of Pres.-elect Barack Obama’s rumored cabinet picks (with the exception of Larry Summers) had met little resistance from the netroots. However, it appears that our observation was premature. Several lefty bloggers have grown increasingly frustrated by what they perceive to be the lack of progress...... [Show More]

The Blogometer: 11/19: This One Stings :
Liberal bloggers are outraged that Senate Dems decided by a 42-13 vote to allow ex-John McCain surrogate/CT Sen. Joe Lieberman to keep his chairmanship of the Homeland Security and Gov’t Affairs committee (while taking away his chairmanship of a less important environmental subcommittee). Here are a few of their comments:

This morning I used Technorati to find more info on ‘black jack counting card’ so I could post it into ‘Black Jack’. And this is one of the many results I found:
Two weeks ago, we wrote that “the difference in mood between the liberal blogosphere and the conservative blogosphere is striking.” We observed that righty bloggers were feeling increasingly confid...... [Show More]
I took a peek at Blogometer and I see the Right is trying to pin the economic troubles we have on Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Now, the argument is hogwash on an intellectual level and I’ll go through why tomorrow. But for the purposes of this election, it is incredible hogwash. Why? Because George Bush became President in 2001. Why? Because Republicans controlled the Congress from 1995 to ...... [Show More]

The Blogometer: 10/7: Turning Up The Heat :
John McCain’s aggressive speech in New Mexico, in which he delivered a scathing attack on Barack Obama’s character and record , generated a lot of commentary in the blogosphere. Conservative bloggers, of course, loved the speech. They were particularly pleased that McCain accused Dems (including Obama) of contributing to the financ...... [Show More]
The Blogometer: 10/6: Off Come The Gloves :
Conservative bloggers were delighted by Sarah Palin’s incendiary remarks about Barack Obama, in which she invoked his ties to ex-Weatherman William Ayers and accused the Dem nominee of “ pallin’ around with terrorists “. Righty bloggers have been discussing Obama’s connection to Ayers for months, and they’re please...... [Show More]
The Blogometer: 9/18: The Hits Just Keep On Comin’ :
Conservative bloggers are in an angry mood today. First of all, they’re furious that hackers broke into Sarah Palin’s Yahoo! email account, which they’re portraying as part of a larger anti-Palin campaign being conducted by the left. Second, they’re furious that the Barack Obama camp is running a misleading Spanis...... [Show More]

Peak too early and you lose momentum. Peak too late, and you reach the finish line in second place. It’s a lesson my father taught me a political lesson a long time ago.
Back in the 1970s, he and other campaign supporters were working on some campaign and was feeling like his candidate wasn’t spending enough money or making enough of an effort. South Hadley’s John Callahan &...... [Show More]
In the two weeks since the National Enquirer allegedly caught John Edwards red-handed, most of the press has treated the Rielle Hunter story like it’s coated with anthrax. The newspapers haven’t touched it, except in opinion columns about why the newspapers haven’t touched it. 24/7 cable news has spent maybe 10 minutes on it, tops. Network news? Shyeah, right.
But the Interne...... [Show More]
Back in June, at the time of the decision by Obama to forgo public finance in favor of financing from the public, Hotline’s Blogometer noted
The netroots have never been ones to embrace conventional Beltway wisdom, and that pattern certainly didn’t change this week.
We thought the outrage by media types was rather misplaced, and Obama’s decision would have no effect on t...... [Show More]
In the middle of May, Variety, the trade magazine for the entertainment industry, published an article stating that Juno director Jason Reitman would be directing a new movie based on Walter Kirn’s novel Up in the Air.
In the world of film fans this was huge news; with Juno’s almost-universal critical acclaim many were waiting anxiously to find out the next project Reitman would ta...... [Show More]

A lot of today’s fighting young progressives probably won’t really believe that movement liberalism ever did have any genuine “exc esses̶ 1; that helped turn voters away from the Democratic Party. But my God, the hysteria greeting the Heller decision among some parts of Netrootsia and Greater Liberalism makes me think some of today’s progressives are determined to repeat ...... [Show More]
Media narratives are carefully constructed, and they are slow to change. But it’s always a problem when the available data doesn’t neatly fit into the narrative. When that happens, you either have to reject the data, or change the narrative. Most times, the former is easier than the latter. Here’s some examples.
As Blogometer pointed out yesterday , we have a narrative from th...... [Show More]
A note to Father Michael Pfleger who ranted, and was applauded, saying:
“It’s time to move on. It’s like saying to a woman who’s been repeatedly raped over, and over, and over, and over, over, and over, … You need to get over it. The HELL I do. Get the sucker who’s been raping me and make him pay. Well America has been raping people of color and America has to...... [Show More]
National Journal’s Blogometer does a nice daily summation of the best of the blogs. I’ve excerpted some of the more interesting comments about Hillary in the liberal blogosphere over the past 24 hours. (The first quote, by Josh, wasn’t in the Blogometer, so I added it.)

There’s this question that the traditional media likes to ask:
“Why aren’t there more women blogging about politics?”
or
“Why are most of the big political bloggers men?”
or implications of
“What are male political bloggers doing to keep women from being successful?”
Reporters start with an easy premise: The bloggers their readers are mos...... [Show More]

I’d been hearing the rumors for a few weeks but, finally, the new National Journal site design has had its debut. But on a Friday?
In Washington, bad news always gets released on Fridays. The idea is to bury it just as the week’s traditional news cycle is winding down — as reporters are racing to get out of, or heading out on the, town.

I just returned from a (Gay) Hollywood Social Mixer where I found something that most people assume to be rare in this town–good conversation. I talked with a number of interesting and intelligent guys, one of them a left-wing radio host I know and whose company I enjoy, as well as several acquaintances and some people I met for the first time tonight.
One of those men was yet ano...... [Show More]
