...John Edwards and Mark Warner, two leading 2008 hopefuls, have already spoken at blogger and technology conferences about the importance of net neutrality. Among current senators, Hillary Clinton recently sent an e-mail encouraging her supporters to go online and sign a petition for net neutrality and is working on a Senate bill on the subject. John Kerry went a step further last week. He threatened to filibuster the telecommunications bill unless it included net neutrality protections. On the website of savetheinternet.com, Kerry wrote: "This vote was a gift to cable and telephone companies, and a slap in the face...

Considering the lavish party Mark Warner had thrown for them the night before, perhaps bloggers should not be so hasty with accusations of schmooze. Still, schmoozing is basically harmless if it doesn't affect what one writes - and if bloggers are re-inventing the journalist wheel, they're still getting around to that one. At the Q&A Warner held with bloggers after his speech, the questions were respectful and sincere. The first...
