Annapolis Capital Punishment

Herewith CP re-posts the follwing from Brian Griffiths, one of the most prolific and perhaps influential bloggers in Maryland with redmaryland.blogspot. While CP is certainly pleased with the mention, it must be noted that most, if not all of the other bloggers looking at Anne Arundel issues tend to be supportive of Republican politics and profess conservative--sometimes tridently so, values. As Griffith notes, all bloggers need to "keep up the good work".: (http://redmaryland.blogspot.com/2007/09/growing-influence.html)

The Growing Influence
"In the last Conservative Refuge podcast Greg Kline alluded to the fact that the influence of blogs in our state is continuing to grow, particularly among conservatives and particularly here in Anne Arundel County. You only have to see the impact blogs had in getting information the recent Central Committee ruckus through the coverage in the local media to see that we can have an impact, no matter how minor.

Eight of the top ten most influential blogs in Maryland are from a conservative perspective.

Five of the top twenty most influential (# 7 The Candid Truth, # 8 Annapolis Politics, #13 The Conservative Refuge, # 17 Capital Punishment and yours truly again at # 1 for the fourth time in five weeks; thanks Central Committee!) are based in Anne Arundel County.

I think we are all just glad that we are able to fill a niche in our community from our own perspective and make sure that the important stories get recognized.

All of Maryland's bloggers, left and right, need to keep up the good work."
