Michael Luo reports on the development of a Democrat's initiative to counter the Republican-leaning voices commanding much of web-based and talk radio space - the blab-o-sphere- in the United States.
I wonder how Canadians can do the same sort of thing. Why can't liberal think tanks be brought to the fore to develop and support meaningful policies across the spectrum of needs by Canadians, even Canadians resident in only one province?

Far too much of the Canadian think-tank-o-sphere is far too narrowly focussed on simplistic partisanship supporting the power grasping of the neo-cons.
I think liberals can use our democratic perspective to develop facilities in the think-tank-o-sphere that are more heavily weighted on the think part and less so on the tank part.
