The indispensable political blog

Just found myself quoting this AP article about political blogs in an e-mail to an advertiser, and realized I’d failed to blog the memorable lines. “Web journals like Joshua Marshall’s have become indispensable this campaign season: They mobilize supporters, question traditional media coverage and feed the insatiable appetites of political junkies.” And then this classic: “Larry Purpuro, coordinator of the Republicans’ e.GOP Project in 2000, said many bloggers were little more than ‘armchair analysts in their bathrobes (with) no serious interest in leaving their living rooms to actually help the campaigns.'” The headline? “The indispensable political blog.”
