One of the enduring amusements of right blogistan is Red State, those impotent self-promoters who just can't ever quite understand why they are not Very Very Important And Powerful. You can respect them enough for understanding that The Left has managed to do something online that The Right has not, but after that it's all pretty much pointing and laughing.
But, basically, they fail because they and their readers are, well, pretty stupid. What the online right doesn't get is that they had all the "power" a few years ago, and they've had lots of money thrown at them (PJ Media, etc.), and they hitched it all to George Bush and his Excellent Iraqi Adventure. Not much of an audience for Bush dead enders and Iraq war enthusiasts.
