One in which "armchair quarterback" comes to mind.

Web sites like DU have a role in shaping the political climate, and that has a role in influencing what national pundits talk about

Talking to 500 independents is a lot different then sitting in your basement in your underwear, eating cheetos, preaching to the choir .


Offer up some proof, I will most likely change my mind. Until then, it's an overinflated sense of importance.

Ps. if they really did listen, then during the health-care debate, we would have gotten single payer, or at least a public option. We got neither.

I think you put the horse before the cart. We discuss what the pundits put up, not the other way around.
