AND YOU THOUGHT THE JBLOGOSPHERE WAS LIMITED? If you think the JBlogosphere has no pull, just listen to what the right wing blogosphere thinks of its influence. Allahpundit, who blogs on Michelle Malkin's Hot Air, wrote back in early July:

I wish I could wave those pompoms but I think Barnett got it right yesterday: right-wing blog readership is so pitifully small that we can't influence much of anything except when opinion is unusually and passionately united on an issue, in which case Republican legislators might note it as a sort of "early warning system" for how the base at large is going to react. But that's the extent of it, and even in that case, it's not quite accurate to say that "right-wing blogs" have influence. Some right-wing blogs have influence — Red State and Powerline in particular from what I hear from friends in Washington, who tell me those are the two that GOP congressmen are dimly aware of. And Instapundit too, of course, and I'm sure the boss's site got a few looks during this particular debate since she's famous for her work on the subject. Righties who want to send a message to Congress on some future issue are probably better off treating those four as "feeder blogs" and sending them important links, etc (to the extent they're not doing so already).

This is all based on the assumption, of course, that Republican legislators care what their constituents think. Which is also, apparently, largely untrue. [emphasis added]

We are already past the midpoint of August and things have been fairly quiet for Israel--especially compared to last year. But if the expectation that Hizbollah is going to attack again this summer comes true, it may be a good idea to keep some of these blogs in mind.

Of course, there are left-wing blogs of influence that could be contacted...aren't there?
