From Open Left: Why the Right is Behind Online

From Erick Erickson, Redstate editor and influential Republican.

Erick Erickson, editor of the popular conservative megablog RedState, conceded that progressives currently enjoy an advantage over conservatives online-though he attributed it to an asymmetry in free time, since conservatives "have families because we don't abort our kids, and we have jobs because we believe in capitalism."

Now, being a doctor who performs abortions is in fact a job, so one might find conflicting narratives in Erick's quote. And if the way to use the internet well politically is to up the number of abortions, then the GOP is kind of fucked.

At any rate, Erick, keep those insights coming and above all, please stay classy.
