As pointed out by Powerline, Michael Barone has a new article which
discusses the effect that bloggers are having on national politics.
Hindrocket adds his opinion that it was really the bloggers discussion
of the Swiftvets and their directing traffic to our website that really
made the difference. I heartily agree! See http://powerlineblog.com.

When refering to SVPOWFT HINDROCKET adds:

In that case, the internet facilitated a spontaneous grass-roots movement centered on a single issue


This I feel and think is a accurate portrayal of who the Swifties were and are, as opposed to the refference made by Richard Wolffe and Susannah Meadows Newsweek here: www.msnbc.msn.com/id/5916073/site/newsweek/

I sure would like Evan Thomas to elaborate on the choices of diction.
