in case Kerry had won(/won Ohio) – would your answer be the same? Just wondering… Yes – I don’t see how blogs would have affected things much the other way either.

I don’t know. I think RedState.org deserves a Hell of a lot of credit.

Henry, any plans for posting audio/video on the web? The paper you wrote with dsquared on blogging was great. I’d like to see how some of those propositions fare in that discussion.

My answer would be that the blogs were used to good effect by both sides for fund raising. Plus, they helped to spread the candidates messages, or in the Democratic case, to expand the message beyond where Kerry wanted to go. But, they had no great effect overall.

I thought that might be your answer. Be prepared, though, to answer the question: “Did blogs keep it close?”
