Barack Obama's clumsiest misstep on the campaign trail--his infamous reference to "bitter" small-town voters clinging to guns and religion--would have gone unnoticed if not for the sharp ears and ready laptop of blogger Mayhill Fowler. Her scoop blindsided professional reporters and roiled the primary race--one of many instances in which Internet muckrakers made a difference in the campaign, argues Eric Boehlert. The former Salon and Rolling Stone writer calls this liberal "netroots" movement the strongest political force since the Christian right--one that, oddly, draws scant attention from the mainstream press.

...aware of the UC Party Fund, nor did he make any attempt to engage the UC.

Aside from coattail successes like Love and War (which follows Murphy Brown) and The Jackie Thomas Show (after Roseanne), it's the biggest new hit of the season...
...plot is explained in what has to be the clumsiest exposition ever. After escaping from one town and holing up in a motel, Harry reads the newspaper article about the Popes' disappearance to Danny, as if the two of them had forgotten their own lives. Running on Empty is that kind of movie. People turn on the TV or the radio just in time to catch exactly that news report which pertains to them...
