Are bloggers choosing our next president?

A new book takes a look at the influence blogs are having on the political discourse. And it's not all good.

"Political blogs are giving our presidential candidates' grassroots supporters and detractors the opportunity to influence others unlike any prior election," says David Wallace, author of "One Nation Under Blog. "The 2008 election will set a precedent for the future with the speed and volume of information disseminated, regardless of accuracy."

Too bad Wallace's book was finished before Sarah Palin was announced as John McCain's running mate. He devote entire chapters to the attacks against Palin initiated by bloggers ... and picked up by the mainstream media.
