Welcome!

I meant to have this group on moderate until we actually go out and
publicize the online community.

Go ahead and have a chat (the group may be too small now), then I'll
ask for your input on the official description of the forum by the
end of the month before we recruit later in a couple months or so.

I figure a launch with at least 200 political bloggers from lots of
countries will make this a useful space.

Cheers,

How many political blogs reach audiences outside their own country?  What value
is there in broadening debates beyond national boundaries?

There's a lot of interest in Canada in U.S. issues, for obvious reasons.  Is
this a unique phenomenon? Or a harbinger of broader international dialogues?
