Hi. Gur here. I'm the co-founder and publisher of Room Eight, one of New York's most heavily read political blogs (or rather, blog of blogs and vlogs). Here, however, I keep the topics more varied and free flowin'.

I fear that, not unlike the political establishment(s) covered by the political blogosphere, much of what political bloggers do appeals only to the very tiny head of the political curve.
Question is, is there a way to appeal to the much larger tail?
It is my perception (and experience) that while the political blogosphere has succeeded in amping up the oversight function, it hasn't succeeded in actually making politics that much more meaningful and accessible to the "everyday Jane and Joe".
