1. "A blogs are still a state of mind. To their most ardent advocates, blogs are standard-bearers of a core set of democratic values: participation, egalitarianism and transparency."(Renior) Democratic leaders like blogs because they can see what people have to say about the voting instead of just seeing the numbers of whose winning in the race. They also can say what they want to say to voters and get it out there fast, easy and accessible.
2. Blogging is going to expand digital media convergence because it is allowing voters and the politicians to write whatever they want online and have everyone see it. The participatory culture is using the Internet to express how they feel about the polls and the voting. Blogging is becoming the next big thing because of how accessible and fast it is.
3. “If television made politics more elitist and less substantive, blogs- and more broadly, netroots tools- have the potential to become engines of truly democratic, bottom-up, issue-rich political participation” (Chaudhry).
4. Blogs let people interact with one another and talk about each others views on politics and allows them to write whatever they want. Anyone can use a blog and it is used in many different ways. It is helpful to everyone and has may opportunities linked with it like the freedom to write whatever you want.
