With the turn of a phrase, Minnesota Republican Rep. Michelle Bachmann seemed to sum up last weekend’s RightOnline conference, an annual gathering of conservative activists.

“The sleeping giant is awake,” she declared . . .

For the first time ever, conservative blogs hold the top two slots in Technorati.com’s politics blog ranking, pushing The Huffington Post, the long-reigning champion, to the fifth slot. Conservative blogs also make up half of the top ten political blogs on the Web, while the distinctly liberal blogs only claim two spaces . . .

Perhaps it wasn’t the best to let that info out - it’s no wonder they want to monitor the internet and have everyone be on ONE page - the commie media.

Yes, just noticed that. #1 of all blogs. It sinks when limited to political blogs.

04. Michele Malkin
05. Paul Ryan
06. Ann Coulter
07. Laura Ingraham
08. Sean Hannity
09. Rush Limbaugh

Can't believe Huffpoo, which I consider to be barely above DailyKooks and Dummies, is the #1 blog. I smell statistics lies.

I think that’s part of the need for Comprehensive Immigration Reform!

Ahhh, good catch

http://technorati.com/blogs/directory/politics/

Hot Air is #1 and NRO’s The Corner is #2.

What I think is really sad is that #3 is Think Progress. Has the left gone that low that they are all directly plugged into George Soros now?

Something like that. Brugmansian is exactly right. I looked at the wrong list. Overall, huff is #1, but look at the political blogs list.

01. Charles Krauthammer
01. Michele Bachmann
01. Michele Malkin
01. Paul Ryan
01. Ann Coulter
01. Laura Ingraham
01. Sean Hannity

You’ll have to twist my arm to add Palin.. I’ll reconsider but who do I bump?.. And NO I ain’t bumpin’ the Sheriff! My gosh, I just realized I need to add Jan Brewer.. I think I’ll have to go to “top twenty”.. Okay, who are the eight I need to come up with? Help, anyone?

Lordy! There’s no need to get your panties in a wad!

Sheesh!...yourself.

You don’t consider Palin to be a force online? That is the topic of this thread.

The rest of the world is “stuck on leftist politics”: Socialism, Communism, Leftist Dictatorships, and Somalia without any actual government since 1991.
