"Also, the fewer people that vote, the fewer people it requires to make change happen." I believe that when only a few people vote, the incumbent usually gets in (that's what I remember from my campaign volunteer days anyway). In order to affect change you need to get new voters out.

There's an interesting aspect to this discussion. The very fact that RTH was able to remove the 'offending' article highlights one of many advantages on-line media has over print media. H.E said it himself when he commented about the on-going risk newspapers have of being sued. Surely this risk - and the associated editorial and business expense - is diminished for blogs who can simply remove the contentious text and move on. As has been said many times before, the web is self correcting. Newspapers alas, operate in a lonely little bubble.
