So the Republican National Convention has started up, not so much that one would notice from the live blogging going on.
Vodkapundit? Nothing.
Ace? Open threads, not Blog It Live action.
Instapundit? No notices of other bloggers live blogging it.
I see a lot of open threads on my usual haunts, but no live blogging.
What could account for this?
Has the medium grown up? Have the bloggers grown up? Or is it that the people who would usually treat the elections as a spectator sport deserving of traffic-driving instant commentary think that this election is vitally important and are out there working on the election?
If that’s the case, it bodes ill for the forces of complacency and stay-at-home-on-November-26.
I don’t think that the medium has grown up. They’re just live blogging on Twitter.
Frankly, that’s a bit of a regression, if you ask me. But I think you’re onto something.
