Capitol Fax has consistently left Ellen of the Tenth out of it's blogroll despite the huge amount of research she does and her unbelievable accuracy. Methinks CapitolFax is in love with Mark Kirk.</p>BillieMon, 19 Nov 2007 20:13:25 -0000http://capitolfax.com/2007/11/19/more-on-schock-and-the-rising-influence-of-blogs/#comment-18129736<p>LOL.

There are exceptions, of course, but they've always been called out (the low-blow attacks on Debbie Halvorson come to mind). I wouldn't worry about that too much.</p>Rich MillerMon, 19 Nov 2007 17:50:53 -0000http://capitolfax.com/2007/11/19/more-on-schock-and-the-rising-influence-of-blogs/#comment-18129727<p>I would also recommend to you Rich and the rest of the bloggers out there - never forget that words have power.</p><p>That means your efforts can help in the cause of justice, but can also cause injustice if you aren't careful.</p><p>Nobody wants to see another, for lack of a better term, "swift-boating" of a candidate - especially one within our realm here in Illinois where we have the power to stop it.</p>GoBearsssMon, 19 Nov 2007 17:48:58 -0000http://capitolfax.com/2007/11/19/more-on-schock-and-the-rising-influence-of-blogs/#comment-18129726<p>Glad you see you cite the Team America site in Lake County.
