I found the following over at Small Dead Animals with reference to the RNC bloggers:
These bloggers are , in no small way, responsible for the recent downturn in the polls for John Kerry, through their relentless pursuit of the Swift Boat contraversy, keeping it alive, diggin up documentation and expert military analysis with the mainstream media was avoiding it like the plague...
With a minority government, and the potential of another election over the horizon, the gatekeepers at the CBC, Globe, Toronto Star to contend with - I hope that someone in party headquarters is looking at finding ways to incorporate the Canadian blogosphere into the machinery of the Conservative Party.
I have thought about righting a letter to Opposition Leader Harper on this subject, but I haven't actually done anything about it. The upcoming policy review meeting would be an ideal time to start such a connection. There have got to be some future Riding Nominees, MP's or Campaign Managers in the group of Canadian bloggers or at very least some dedicated foot soldiers. The sooner the Conservative Party takes advantage of this the better off they will be.
