Conservatives may have the airwaves, but liberals have started early with the next generation of omnipresent media: blogs and the Internet.

From the Salt Lake Tribune:

Republican Rep. Chris Cannon expected a reaction.
“How many of you people blog?” he asked a throng of GOP delegates crowding the E Center last weekend.
“You know, blog?” he asked again, after getting nothing but silence.
“What?” one woman begged, while just a few hands raised.
“Internet communication,” Cannon tried again. “It’s important to send out your ideas.”
Still, more silence. Then Cannon walked off the stage.

Also, for what it’s worth, the Trib has launched their Editorial dept. blog, Plato’s Cave: http://blogs.sltrib.com/editorial/
