fluffy journalism, sloppy thinking, superficial interests, misiidentifies New Republic as a liberal organ; election concerns only, not policy

This piece, hypothesizing about the ability of the Daily Kos blog to affect the politics (and electability) of Democratic Party candidates is a bit of fluff, in my view. It's "horse race" talk, as well as a critique of the blogosphere that borders on celebrity journalism, if not what we inside call "advertorial." It's so speculative that it almost ceases to be informative.

It sounds like the writer recently discovered blogs and then used the blogs to write about what was going on. His analysis of the people who are in power in the Democratic Party is hazy and vague. Lots of this is superficial and I agree that it is uses the "horse race" paradigm.
