All corners of Tennessee’s blogosphere got some nice recognition in the Main Stream Media this morning. Tennessean Staff Writer Jennifer Brooks penned a great piece on today’s front page titled ‘Tennessee’s Political Blogosphere has Something Special’.

It’s a nice rundown of some of Tennessee’s online oracles from both sides of the aisle. Both myself and The Tennessee ConserVOLiance were mentioned and treated nicely. Glenn Reynolds, Rob Shearer aka Red Hat Rob and Bill Hobbs were other representatives from the Right. R Neal, Sean Braisted and Aunt B made the cut to represent the other side’s contributions.

Regardless of your political persuasion, Brooks’ notion is quite correct. Here in Tennessee we have something very special in our political blogosphere. Just on the Right side of the discussion, we have almost 75 individual online activists across the state. Other states I’m familiar with have barely a tenth of that! We have bloggers, podcasters and 2, count ‘em - TWO political cartoonists! You can find all these fine folks in the Blogrolls “Tennessee ConserVOLiance” and “Great Tennessee Blogs” in the sidebar here.

My thanks to Jennifer and The Tennessean for a great article. Not only did it highlight the quality and diversity of Tennessee’s online political discussion, I also found 3 new Right of Center blogs to add to the blogroll just this morning because of it! My guess is there are at least 25 more that I simply haven’t found yet! I know they’re out there - back to the hunt.
