36. ehhhh, I don't buy your premise at all
Bloggers aren't into blogging because they are supporters of a political objective (although that's a peripheral reason). They're in it because they are into grassroots journalism. The story, first and foremost, is their objective. The would have written about Kerry's support/appearance if it had an angle or something interesting or unusual happened during his appearance.

But just to write a story about Kerry's appearance--that's not enough of an interesting story.

I would not infer from this that there is dwindling blogosphere support for Lamont. The people who are readers of those blogs are going to be voting for Lamont regardless.
