From what I gathered, over the past year Bayh kept trying to put together his little gang of Senate wankers, but every time he'd try dirty fucking hippie bloggers would say mean things about him and then the potential wankers would get a little scared off and wouldn't want to be part of Bayh's little club.
Not saying this is about Blogerrrr Powerrrr, just that the critique from the left was loud enough that it got through.
