This is a novel story - bloggers speaking out on network television. The thing important about it - and the thing rare - is that it gives emphasis to a fact that the American electorate is not divided between Bushies and Liberals, or between red states and blue states. Mainline news media commentators seem often to have lost this perspective. The bloggers note that Democrats, opponents of the Bush Administration, Americans who do not vote Republican may be liberals, they may be voters who could be labeled progressives, there are latter-day populists, there are people who bear allegiance to the Democratic party, there are Democrats who can be rated fiscal conservatives, there are Democrats who match most criteria for a definition of conservative. People supporting Democrats and the Democratic party range through the political/social/economic spectrums. Too conveniently, all are often identified today as liberals. Only the headline for this story is misleading.

I would not employ the headline “liberal internet bloggers…”
