ED CONE WONDERS why there weren’t more (i.e., more than a very few) conservatives at BloggerCon. (Here’s a related post by Robert Cox.)

I never seriously considered attending, as it was my plan all along to take things relatively easy post-election, and cross-country travel doesn’t go with that. I enjoyed the first Bloggercon at Harvard very much, despite feeling a bit ganged-up-on by people who thought I was foolish for not endorsing their characterization of the Plame case — hmm, my take is looking better with time, though, isn’t it? — but I’m a lawyer and thick-skinned. I havent’ been since then, but I get the sense that these events are taking on more and more of Dave Winer’s personality and slant. There’s nothing wrong with that, but it will tend to narrow their audience.

UPDATE: Speaking of blog get-togethers, here’s one asking whether blogs tipped the election, featuring Ana Marie Cox, Daniel Drezner, Henry Farrell, and Michael Tomasky.
