Bonne synthèse sur le rôle des blogs dans la campagne présidentielle américaine

L'AFP propose une intéressant depêche reprise sur Yahoo : "Bloggers come of age in US presidential race".

Un extrait : ""Stories often bounce around and you get an echo chamber where the top bloggers talk about things," said Peter Daou, a longtime blogger, who now helps write blog entries for John Kerry's campaign website.

"By studying the blog carefully, you can sometimes get a sense of what's coming. They'll telegraph things that are going to come in the future."

Many attribute some of the biggest political news stories to the persistence of bloggers. Bloggers attacked Republican senator Trent Lott's remarks during the 100th birthday party for late senator Strom Thurmond."
