NYTimes gives credit where credit is due.

The New York Times Opinion page gives credit to the Web log or blog for transforming politics this election. Every four years, by journalistic if not political tradition, the presidential election must be accompanied by a "revolution." So what transformed politics this time around? The rise of the Web log, or blog. The commentary of bloggers - individuals or groups posting daily, hourly or second-by-second observations of and opinions on the campaign on their own Web sites - helped shape the 2004 race. The Op-Ed page asked bloggers from all points on the political spectrum to say what they thought was the most important event or moment of the campaign that, we hope, comes to an end today. And which bloggers get to voice their opinions on the pages of The New York Times?
