Last December I argued that the emerging “liberal blogosphere” was and would continue to play a major role in US politics. Last month, every Democratic candidate for president attended the 2nd annual Yearly Kos (a convention of left-wing, liberal, and democratic partisan bloggers). Have a look at all the candidates’ websites and you’ll find links and tools to all the major online social organizations. The candidates furthermore employ full-time "bloggers" as part of there core campaign staff. Perhaps a better way to guage their political effectiveness is by how the "right-wing" portrays them.
About Us
The Atlantic Community, a project-in-development, is a collaborative weblog and network for research, analysis and commentary on American society and culture. Our aim is to provide a public voice for European scholarship in American Studies, forging stronger communication between the academy and the public on both sides of the Atlantic. This network will be community-driven, responding flexibly to the needs and desires of its users. What you see here now is simply an early stage along the way toward that network. We encourage our readers and our writers to participate in setting the agenda for developing The Atlantic Community’s full potential.
