Yep - exactly. That being said, most of the action I've been following is taking place on smaller blogs, most of which generally focus on a specific US state's politics. Megasites like DailyKos, MyDD, HuffingtonPost nowadays tend to act as distribution sources, by picking up stories from smaller blogs and helping pass them on to a (considerably) larger audience.

The Democratic Underground site has always been a great resource as well, though there are lots of loons lurking around (then again - the same can be said of every other site on the Web). TPMCafe is another Dem-leaning site you'll want to check out.

The Democratic Party's blog has been playing catch-up with the others (in terms of audience size and influence), but that's partly due to the fact that the authors haven't found a "voice" to channel their thoughts through yet. Then there's the fact that they can't really post very juicy details about their own candidates, but that's a story for another day.
