Right Wing Blogosphere On Death Watch

The Republican attack machine which has dominated and damaged American politics for so long -- is dying. From Media Matters: Mary Mapes, of CBS' Memogate fame, delights in the demise of the right-wing bloggers' influence this election cycle: Nothing makes me happier than seeing once swaggering players like Powerline, Free Republic and Little Green Footballs forced onto the sidelines, left to limply watch this campaign pass by like a parade in which they play no meaningful part. They just don't matter anymore. And don't forget about Drudge! And fyi, from Portfolio [emphasis added]: The Huffington Post drew more than 4.5 million unique visitors in September, making it the most-trafficked stand-alone political website or blog, according to figures just released by ComScore. Huffpo's traffic increased by 474 percent versus September 2007. In comparison, the Drudge Report drew a little over 2 million uniques, up 70 percent year-over-year.
