An editorial related to the hiring of bloggers in political campaigns is presented. Particular attention is given to two bloggers who were hired by John Edwards. One of the bloggers, Amanda Marcotte, produced a personal weblog related to her interpretations of images of the birth of Jesus. Catholic League president Bill Donohue reacted and demanded that Edwards fire the bloggers, which he did. The author discusses the relationship between internet users and the Democratic Party.
