The Obama campaign knew that when they opened up their website and supporter blogs about a year ago, that this kind of politicing is risky in that you can't control the message of your supporters. It turns out that given Obama's flip flop by supporting the current version of the FISA bill that includes immunity for the telecom companies, the largest group on his blog of blogs is a group urging him to stand by his original position. Thus, a network that was created by the Obama campaign is now being used as a way to try and get Obama back to his original position... very interesting. Talk about a bottom up style of politics.
