The blog Shot in the Dark is capitalizing on what is clearly the power that blogs have that no MSM can duplicate -- the ability to marshall a large number of forces to research a story. In other words: people power.
The blog is putting together a team to research all of the people who signed the letter in the Strib saying they were ready to pay for a better Minnesota (in other words, "raise taxes.")
They're going to document the employers, to see if there are organizations, common to each. Past campaign contributions and other political background.
This will be a very interesting project to watch.
