However, the nonpartisan bloggers just do not get the visibility that your larger partisan blogs do like Kos. It doesn't mean they don't exist. Also, when the NPs point out how often Democratic bloggers and activists are used by the establishment for their own means, the former get chastised and even banned. I guess it easier calling the conservatives dumb sheep so we don't have to look at our own failings. Good post. Well, I am part of the netroots and not partisan.
