Jeff Jarvis writes on BuzzMachine...
Now two leading candidates for NJ governor -- Corzine and Schundler -- have blogs and Joe Territo is asking both of them a question and suggesting more voters do the same. I think that's a good idea: So far, candidates' blogs have still been one way the wrong way: It's another stump for speeches. I'll be impressed when I see candidates use the medium to listen.
I think it's great that Jarvis is promoting blogs as a medium for both candidates and voters... but is there any reason why Jarvis chose not to link to the Republican candidate Schundler's campaign blog?
If Jarvis thought it was worth noting that both candidates have blogs, why not link to both?
Jeff? A little transparency would be appreciated here.
UPDATE: Jarvis added the link... Calls the omission "pure oops."
UPDATE: Jarvis responds to this post on his blog...
He also posted a comment here at GOP Bloggers which the moderator and I agree we cannot publish. We agree with Jarvis's own rules of engagement that there can be "no personal attacks, hate speech, bigotry, or seven dirty words in the comments or comments will be killed along with commenters." Jeff needs to calm down and realize this isn't something to have a Dean scream moment over.
...To his credit, he apologized in a following comment for the profanity.
Acually, I think you made the right call in not allowing the Jarvis comment through.
Instead, you need to post both his comment policy and his own comment (editted to make it PG) as a means of showing just how hypocritical he is.

As usual, treks into LeftyLand require a sanitization process before returning to reality.
Being an Agro-American, and visiting vet clinics and hospitals, I am used to having to step in a pan of disinfectant to enter and leave certain areas. This is the imagery that comes to mind when I dip into the Left's excuse for political discussion--that I need a good scrubbing before I can return.
The only logical next step for NJ Dems is to appoint Jarvis the head of the NJ Democratic Party
