Reactions to the blogger story: Cece’s bummed they picked Coobs over Craig, and – along with Sharon Brogan — wonders where are the women? Craig was a little bummed at hitting the editing-room floor and thinks it’s because he refused to identify himself as a Republican. (Plus great discussion in the comments.) Justin kicks off his blog with a post on the Independent story, reminding us that nobody actually reads our blogs. Oh, and Wulfgar! shows off his “shrill ravings of a liberal madman.” Come to think of it – that’s a great name for a blog! “Shrill Ravings.” Or “Liberal Madman.”

Dave Neiwert takes a hard look at Jim Webb’s campaign in Virgina. Will attempts to win the South cost the Democratic party its soul? I say let the GOP keep it. We’ll take the West.

While Bush waxes optimistic about Iraq, the Pentagon releases a dour report: the situation in Iraq sucks.

Meanwhile the White House is paying $20M for positive media coverage of Iraq. Wait! I would have done it for half as much!

Here’s a story that should interest all political bloggers: Bay Area’s Josh Wolf, jailed for protecting his sources.
