I have been tagging along with this "rogue band" of political hacks since I believe shortly after the November election. Since then, and because I was intellectually overshadowed by my other collegues, I have gained a greater knowledge of not only the democratic process in general, but also the "players" on both sides and the issues that are so critical to local, state, and national platforms. The "blog haters", if there are any, will probably disagree with this, but I believe that the blogs have played a significant role in some of the recent elections; most notably greg ballard's election. With the mainstream media becoming more diluted and twisted every day, blogs like this one continue to be a growing source for all the news that is pertinent to people's everyday lives. Bloggers are not accountable to any mainstream outlet, only to themselves. I always tell my co-workers, "if you want to know what's really going on in indianapolis or the state, then go to the blogs." I will definitely be hitting the donate button and I encourage those who enjoy this site to do so as well. Let me just take the opportunity to second what josh has said.
