TV shows political conventions with all the spontaneity of a foregone conclusion. That's an opening for web writers.

Bloggers hope to blow the process wide open. They're promising to lend fresh insight and unjaded perspective. Nonsense, their critics counter. Bloggers may entertain with their online uppercuts, but a sharp jab isn't journalism.

Three bloggers talk about their convention coverage and discuss the license and limits of unbridled opinion.
