now actively participating in the blogosphere either writing their own blogs or reading their own blogs. that is a significant number. that is a revolution. we women are creating. we are creating a powerful media force. not only have we made our own media through the proliferation of highly trafficked blogs but we're networked together. we can have a being together online and that impact is had on leaders at every level, candidates, and traditional media reporters. the question here, is this changing the political landscape for the election? the answer is, most definitely. take for example the recent case of the komen foundation's near defunneleding of screenings at planned parenthood. there fro women and a domino effect of friends telling friends that the defundin reversed komen brand will never likely be the same. or take for example the recent internet furor over the absence of women's voices at the congressional hearing on contraceptive coverage. maybe you could have gotten away with excluding women ten years ago but today when you can put a photograph on an internet and have it spr

tweet and facebook update but this blog is as far as i understand it and an authorized blog right is the way that people describe it is that normal there are a bunch of other state department employees that all have blogs and do they not get their blog post cleared before they write want to read other hundreds of street important blogs this is the era of the internet and many of our young people we're coming aboard have lived their life on the internet they don't will walk out of these hundreds of blogs in fact the state department chooses to link on its careers website to about twenty or thirty of them and never expects pre-clearance on any of those things because those blogs so you things that the state department likes dissenting speech but they don't like and they bring out their guns prior restraint so what is it that you said that was so bad about hillary clinton or something more conversations about the scrutiny of mrs bachmann this week than i've ever thought of before this is at the time that more could off he was murdered. over his death she said on camera and it's on my we

their correspondence blog. they set up tweets. they file to their facebook pages, and obviously the move from the analog environment to the digital environment in newsrooms has been one of the most striking things that's occurred in the editorial process in the past generation and parties and political actors think this is a space where important business is done. by the very fact of them being there doing their work there, they will pull more people in. hoefr many people are involved in the paul tigs, they will use the internet. that's where so much gets transacted. >> he's at the washington center in washington, d.c. isaiah, you're next. >> hi. i was reading earlier about a trend called cyber bulkenization where people use the internet it to validate their own beliefs and become immersed in virtual worlds. do you see that hindering our democracy, or do you see that decreasing in the future with the internet? >> there are actually two ways that people are worried about this, and it's a huge question about the impact of the intern

saw it in athens clark county georgia just one week earlier i've got the video of that up at brad blog dot com as well and again it was not a matter of ron paul folks causing trouble it was a matter of the party establishment who was running the delegate convention in that case was a county delegate convention basically shutting out what appeared to be the majority of people at that convention completely ignoring robert's rules of orders the parliamentary procedures they're supposed to use at these events and basically railroading the entire process shutting it down and doing whatever they want to do no matter what the people there the democracy that has gathered. what they wanted to express i think the power folks have every right to be outraged about this and i'm glad they're speaking up to be frank now really are pointed out ron paul. especially that there is frog going on as you point to the fact that wherever he goes he has this loud following. so he obviously has a very very big network of supporters that he hasn't won a single caucus that and he is raising suspicion that perhaps
