The Battle of the blogs

As the congratulations are passed around the blogosphere after Guido’s victory over Damian McBride and Derek Draper, it’s worth keeping in mind that this is not a victory of the Conservative Party over Labour. This is a victory of People over Politics. And it’s a victory which should make all politicians, not just Labour ones, buck up their habits and start fearing the blogs. - Stuart Sharpe

"If you want to be a superstar blogger,
get in the papers but lose Labour an election -
you can just fuck off".
Derek Draper to other Labour bloggers, Sept 2008

The Daily Politics battle between blogger Guido Fawkes, and New Labour mouthpiece Derek Draper. Draper lost the battle.
