Here I am thinking about those voices currently without their own blogs, possibly because they really don't want the self-established pressure to write every day or every week, or because there have been some disagreements along the way: Rsmitty, Dana Garrett, Mike Matthews, donviti....
Or those who are plainly running a bit on fumes these days in their own blogs (because interest comes and goes, but real life intrudes without mercy): Shirley, Brian Shields....
And some of our regular commenting voices around the Delaware blogosphere who have never taken the plunge: Anonone, Perry, noman....
Not to mention other bloggers who occasionally have an idea or a perspective that just doesn't fit their regular gig....
I'm thinking of a different kind of blog, something I'd call Delaware Spectrum, that would be an ensemble of shared interest in political blogging rather than an ensemble of shared politics....
I don't actually know if something like this would have enough long-term appeal to work.
So here's my serious QOTD for those listed above and anybody else reading: If I built it, would you come?
Or at least breathe hard.
(Damn it, Waldo, I'm trying to break myself of those sexual innuendos, but it's hard. I mean it's difficult.)

Shame. Shame on you.
Obviously you need to read the previous post. Or at least place the answer there. In this case you've declared for rhetorical abosolutism over an admittedly poor choice of words.
I made the poor choice of words and I said so.
Having done that (which is more than you could expect from damn near anybody else) I am not about to let you take the high and mighty position that context is immaterial. That's a crock and we both know it.
Great idea.
Would I participate? Probably. To be quite honest I think my lack of passion is because of a lack of time with work and a lack of knowledge of the healthcare debate/debacle.
I am sure I will find time once things settle and politics gets more interesting.

Somewhat different genre though. To be perfectly honest, sometimes the esoteric Dover political stuff is a snoozefest. And I hate to break the news to anyone, but I can count the people interested in Sussex county politics on one hand.
I hope you can help me get the word out.
But for me to help you get the word out I need a link or something. What am I supposed to be telling people?
Oh, I want a regular dust up between you and Eric Dondero as part of the new digs. Gotta keep it happening!
