I think that the reason for utilizing bloggers is because of a variety of factors: a different demographic (at least in my case; I read tech/SEO blogs and am not so into politics myself, but seeing Scoble's coverage was very interesting), a different perspective (compared to traditional media), and an opportunity for the "little guy who writes on a blog" to have a voice. Truthfully, I just hope there's a lot of full disclosure going on.

I think the cat is out of the bag. Every politician and they're brother is jumping on the bandwagon. Edwards camp has done a good job at being a first mover and getting Podtech to cover them. Can they keep the momentum going though, that is the real question and how will they manage any negative feedback in the blogosphere. It will be an interesting ride.
