The Mrs. and I were talking the other day about how blogs don't really give you a good check on the pulse of the electorate or a sense of where most folks stand on issues, because people who participate are typically better educated, more informed, more engaged, and more passionate about their causes than the general population. The recent Knox County elections might be an exception, but there was near universal consensus, partly because of the intense media coverage. Anyway, Cathy at Domestic Psychology has some interesting commentary [1] that reminded me of this.
