Get over yourselves

Some people need to find reality again after the November elections. From the New York Times:
Liberal bloggers say they are not receiving the credit they deserve and are chafing at how what they call the mainstream media has showered too much credit on Emanuel and his senate counterpart, Charles E. Schumer of New York, for the sweep.

Emanuel and Schumer. You know, the head of the teams that raised the money and oversaw campaigns across the country. Yeah, the bloggers did as much as these two did to help bring the majority to the Democrats.

Spoken like a bunch of people that have never worked on a single campaign.

These tensions are best seen ideologically. New York Times and the rest of the centrist to right media are primarily trying to re-frame this as a Neo Democrat win. The candidates the bloggers supported were much more as they say liberal. Some 'liberal bloggers' see this simply as mainstream vs new media thing and its much more than that.

Bloggers are the campaign equivalent of yard signs...
