"A Blogger Web Site"

Here's a couple of photo captions accompanying AP's shots of Joshua Marshall in New Hampshire:

Joshua Marshall, of Talkingpointsmemo.com a blogger Web site, looks up from his computer while listening to presidential hopeful Wesley Clark , Wednesday Jan. 21, 2004 during a campaign stop at the University of New Hampshire in Durham, N.H. His daily audience of about 45,000 is comparable to a medium-sized newspaper. That makes his blog, he hopes, as influential as talk radio.

Web journals like Joshua Marshall's have become indispensable on the campaign trail this season: Not only do they mobilize supporters, but they also serve as a check against traditional media coverage.

Is it just me, or are these captions a little goofy?

Blogs have become indispensable to whom? And Marshall's not trying to mobilize supporters for anyone.

My daily audience of 4 or 5 is comparable to the number of Joe Lieberman supporters, and I hope my blog makes me attractive to potential sex partners and impervious to cancer.
