President Lincoln is reputed to have once remarked, "If you like this sort of thing, this will be the sort of thing you will like."
That seems to sum up the echo chambers that are most of the blogs of the political right and left these days.Each side tends way too much to talk to people who will tell them what they want to hear.
Thus the consultant/blog The Process Story promotes a story about itself, its chief Wesley Donehue being interviewed by The Daily Caller about who the most important SC GOP leader is. Process Story consultant/blogger says it's Senator Jim DeMint, not Governor Nikki Haley.
Donehue was interviewed by Daily Caller reporter Amanda Carey- a Robert Novak protege', who, before running the "DeMint's most important" story, ran another story about the Fox News debate among exploratory candidates largely quoting DeMint and uber-consultant Warren Tompkins, for whom Donehue worked until 2010. DeMint confirmed how important his views are, and Tompkins was described as an uber-consultant.
What's interesting- other than the incestuousness of the world 'o consultants in Columbia- is the emerging (if whispered/implied) argument that Governor Haley is only a nominal player in The Big Show. Somebody you pay a courtesy call on.
