Jeff Jarvis asks the interesting question in the wake of Howard Dean's poor show in Iowa overnight. In doing so, Jarvis sounds a warning about how easy it is to have your beliefs confirmed by the blogosphere, rather than challenged. Is Dean and his team looking online only for support, rather than guidance? For backing - and cash - rather than a conversation? Jarvis writes:
"Did the strong community that made Dean's organization and fundraising work so amazingly well become too insular and self-congratulatory? Did it amplify the opinions and attitudes already there? Did it become so loud inside that room that it became hard to hear the noise outside, where the voters were?"Meanwhile, we'd better all start learning more about John Kerry
