How can something so simple as a blog completely change the outcome of elections and the directions that politics take?
When thinking about it, all a blog is is the expression of a person's views, opinions, and analysis', which is viewable by many people. What really makes it so different from years before blogs were around? The difference seems to be in the fact that it's not just journalists and news reporters who can influence larger groups of people, but now any common person can reach the computers of others and get their opinion read and possibly shared. As we've seen, blogging has created movements and has even taken candidates out of electoral races.
There are blogs for both left and right wing's, such as Little Green Footballs and the Daily Kos. Both stay updated and constantly comment on recent news and events. Being online, these blogs are easily accessed and shared between people.
