I have an article in the Washington Examiner today about last week’s earmark fight that turned bloggers against Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D.-Nev.) for his refusal to accept strong anti-earmark language.

The point I make is this: With a couple seasoned bloggers now working in Senate offices — Jon Henke in Minority Leader Mitch McConnell’s and Tim Chapman in Sen. Jim DeMint’s — conservative bloggers really have it pretty good.

It’s a point my friend Pat Hynes addressed in a column on Townhall.com a couple weeks ago. It’s nice to see that Senate Republicans are taking the new media seriously.
