Fear and Laptops on the Campaign Trail

Here's an article on blogs...the intro asks, "The bloggers covering the presidential race are maverick, funny, mostly partisan and always hypercaffeinated. Are they ruining political journalism or recharging it?" Good read.
Billmon, who just this summer quit writing the excellent blog Whiskey Bar, wrote a piece for the LA Times (use mailinator ID and passwd) on the "selling out" of big time blogs. Many blogs, of course, are commenting on his assessment of the state of blogging.
I highly recommend going through the Whiskey Bar archives. Billmon was a hardworking blogger, and almost always posted original well-thought-out work, not just links like I do.
