I'd add only a couple comments. 1) John Cole didn't switch sides. Pick 50 issues and he'll be on the side you have him on 49 times. 2) Where you place Time's Swampland and The Moderate Voice depends entirely on who's doing the blogging. Most of the time, you can put Swampland on the left (especially if Joe Klein or Ana Marie Cox write the posts). It's pretty much the same for TMV, except that I believe they have one expressly right-oriented blogger there. Otherwise, they're pretty much left-leaning. Your analysis pretty much puts the biscuit in the basket. I have noticed today that most, if not all, of the bloggers on the left aren't spending a lot of time dealing with the substance of the article but are focusing on the authors' credentials, going so far as to cast them out of any future Democratic administration. I've read perhaps 8 comments from the left and they all went that way. Many of the bloggers on the right are doing what you've said, but a couple notable posts really dug into some deep analysis of the piece (Belmont Club and TigerHawk come immediately to mind). I've never seen your blog before. I'm going to have to visit a lot more often. Your analysis is pretty heavy stuff! I’d say you have the list pegged about right. I’d add only a couple comments.
