IS IT GOOD FOR THE BLOGGERS? Reading David Bernstein’s various posts about Jews in American politics (which, unlike some bloggers, I found quite interesting), I had a thought. Jews are influential beyond their numbers in American politics — they’re about 2% of the electorate, but they’re far more influential than that. Why?

Well, they’re on average better-educated, wealthier, and more interested (and involved) in politics than the average voter. To me, this sounds like blog readers, who are probably similar in numbers, and in other characteristics. Will the blogosphere become a demographic of similar importance? Maybe it already is.
