I really, really like the perspective Greg Knauss lends to the notion of a “weblog candidate” for the U.S. House of Representatives. If you’ve been following the candidacy of Tara Sue Grubb at all, the essay is worth a read.
(Oh, and you must read the comments at the end.)
But, OK, “Winer bad!” fits, too.

Knauss and the people who read his site aren’t likely to vote in North Carolina, if they were, I would have sent Tara a pointer and suggested she participate. BTW, I didn’t post dozens on his site. Your counter has a bug.
