A TIMELY QUESTION
Living & Breathing Blogging in Philadelphia

It’s not an age-old question, but it is an interesting query that many have posed, including, just today, Philadelphia Inquirer reporter and newbie blogger (Blinq), Daniel Rubin:

Why are there so many bloggers in Philadelphia, particularly liberal bloggers?

I don’t know the answer, even though I’m part of the process or endeavor that spawns the very question. There’s nothing unusual in the air or the water here, at least not that I’m aware of, though it’s true that great and profound political events happen here, or have happened here in the past.

Perhaps it has to do with this city’s location between the inordinately self-absorbed power centers of New York and Washington: near enough to be aware of what’s going on in both (and to assemble Rolodexes with contacts in each), but far enough not to fear offending anyone in either.
