INSTAPUNDIT - MAINSTREAM MEDIA BLOGGING.
The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel was running a blog, and at 9 it declared itself "all blogged out" and told readers to go to the main page or go watch television. What the hell kind of blogging is that? Anyway, they did leave us with some final Wisconsin exit poll numbers:
53% of those voting in the state were women, 47% men; 28% came from union households, 72% non-union households; 36% had college degrees, 64% did not.
... 38% identified themselves as Republican, 35% Democrat, 27% independent. From another view: 31% said they were conservative, 20% liberal and 49% moderate.
Some 54% approved of the job Bush has done as president, 46% disapproved; 56% said the nation is safer from terrorism than four years ago, 42% said it is less safe.
The top issues for voters: Moral values (for 21%) and terrorism (20%), followed closely by economy/jobs (19%) and Iraq (18%).
That reads as good for Bush to me. The MSJ blog just signs off with a shrug. MSM blogs don't really seem to be real blogs to me. They seem to be presentations of reportable information set in a blog format, but just too devoid of personality and spirit to amount to actual blogs. They're just pseudoblogs, blogoids. |
