RNC chairman hosts conference call with bloggers

This is interesting. Republican National Committee Chairman Ken Mehlman has hosted a conference call with several opinion-shaping bloggers to discuss (read: spin) Harriet Miers' SCOTUS nomination. I have two thoughts. One, Mehlman should have done this a LONG time ago; the conservative blogosphere has boiled with scathing criticism of the nomination since it was announced. The RNC and Team Bush should have pitched their message long before the doubt, disillusionment and disappointment had time to congeal. No matter. The mere fact that Mehlman recognizes the influence wielded by these bloggers is a step in the right direction.
