"The Mike Barone analysis is this: that why bloggers and 
    the internet have helped Republicans and hurt Democrats, 
    because the conservative bloggers have taken on, very 
    effectively, the mainstream media, which is mostly 
    liberal. And the liberal bloggers, they take on Democrats 
    as not being liberal enough, and are driving them to the 
    left. So on both counts, it helps Republicans."
