Considering Alaska has fewer people than Idaho it has an impressive array of blogging talent on the political front who rose above and beyond the call of duty to deliver the information necessary to vet a political unknown on the national stage in a short amount of time.

Contrary to the predictions of lil' Adam, Idaho's liberal blogosphere has increased, not tanked, after the election of Obama.
