For those of you who are new to blogging, welcome. Personally, I cannot say I have gone out of my way to compose a blog outside political science classes, but many do use blogging on a very serious level. I came upon an article that may or may not legitimize blogging and its content, but certainly the potential to say make some debatable formidable statements. Here is a man, a political blogger more precisely, who went out of his way to construct some extremely juicy content for blogging... and was rewarded with publicity (an article in the NY Times at least). Granted, "Low Blow Joe," is not new the the political arena, and received more attention from his blog than a Political Parties student might. But who knows, successful blogging could lead to more than a good grade in this class, it may just lead to juicy enough content (with evidence of course) to have some influence over an election.
Do you think a blog has that potential? How much of a factor will this technology be in the time leading up to the primaries?
This is a class blog for the students of POLSCI 421: Party Politics in America at the University of Wisconsin–Milwaukee.
