…this evening, Gary Miller’s “Kennedy Vs. The Machine” was one of the most important things to happen in the blogosphere in the past two years.

Gary Miller, the Ringer, Doug Williams and Andy Aplikowski showed the world how to outflank a rankly-biased mainstream media, with solid reporting and just-plain-facts that clobbered the “Machine” – the Strib, PiPress, WCCO and MPR – at every turn.

But don’t listen to me – this morning’s letter writer said it better.

It has been your voice that gave hope not just to me but to all who cared when things in this campaign seemed to go south, and not just for Kennedy. It looked bad but you said it would pass, and the Republicans would be stronger for it. You have us hope, even when we didn’t want to hear it.

The one thing your coverage made me realize that I appreciate the most is the fact that there are still good people in the political realm. My involvement in the political realm has told me the same as well. When I see the image of Mark Kennedy next to Klobuchar, I see truth fighting fallacy. In the tough times I didn’t think we would pull it out, but now, with tomorrow being Election Day, I realize good will win out. People will be driven toward the positive from the negative when the day is said and done.

However the votes tally up – and they’re sure to be much closer than the Machine wants you to think they will – kudos to the guys on a hard job very well done.

So howzabout you take a few months off and then come back with “Coleman Vs. The Machine”?
