BlogPac launches ThereIsNoCrisis.com
By Christian Crumlish, 01/19/2005 - 3:58pm

Bloggers are playing a role in setting the stage of the Social Security showdown scheduled to be the Bush administration's first major domestic agenda item of its second term. At Talking Points Memo, Josh Marshall has been functioning as something of a freelance whip, identifying wavering Democrats and shaming them back into line. Meanwhile, BlogPAC has launched a web site called There Is No Crisis in order to dispute the underlying premise of the Republican agenda: that without at least partial privatization Social Security is doomed. Naturally, the site has a blog and an RSS feed.

Should the big parties have professional blog whips?

It's all well and good that Marshall's TPM sets an agenda. But shouldn't the parties be leading? Where's the DNC's active effort to send a message to the lefty blogs? Where are the state parties' blog whips? You would think the large Blue states would have chartered online evangelists to spread the word via email, blog, rss, and board.
