I think Frederick sees blogs, and with some justification, as rumor mills and places people get to attack him and others without any recourse or editing. So I don't blame him. And it is our responsibility, like you said, that we can have some disgresion. I also think that Republicans and Democrats look for different things in blogs. Still, I worry that Frederick's views on blogs might be too previlent among out GOPers, and its imperative that he does reach outh becasue we WANT to help him, and the best way to help him is to be in contanct with his people and campaign.

From what I gather, sites like Bacon's Rebellion are the model of what the Republican leadership wants to see. We have the task of demonstrating the value of a broader spectrum of intents and styles. Slowly this is starting to happen, but I'm taking the position that it's incumbent on us to prove ourselves more than it's incumbent on elected officials to pay attention just because we happen to be here.

We need our elected officials to reach out to us and communicate their messages. One of the reasons left-wing blogs have done so well is that Democrat electeds have reached out too them. Frederick hopefully will reconsider his thinking and realize that this medium could help him and the party a lot. He's probably still mad about the Too Conservatve's blast after Tom Davis's kick off eight or so months ago. Its too bad Frederick doesn’t read blogs.
