Wow... there are now DOZENS of weblogs
I couldn't help but laugh at this and pass it on. From an article discussing the growing power and role of blogs in political battles such as the coming nomination(s) to the Supreme Court:
Political groups preparing to battle over the first U.S. Supreme Court nomination in 11 years have a powerful new tool -- Internet blogs -- to spread information quickly and influence decision makers without relying on traditional media.
Web logs likely numbering in the dozens provide a way for the thoughtful and the passionate to publish their views. Politicians are taking notice as they prepare for the first high court nomination fight since the Internet became common in American households.
Wow... there are now dozens of blogs? Golly! Jim, Wally, and I had better investigate this. We'd thought there maybe eight, tops -- and that's including those two LiveJournal gals.

I've since lost the link, but it was in a Reuters news article. I can only presume the author meant something along the lines of, "There are now perhaps dozens of large, multi-author weblogs specifically geared towards this kind of political battle, including RedState, Daily Kos, Instapundit, etc."
