Blogger Heavyweight Leaving?

NLS is reporting that Chad Dotson will be taking a judgeship and will therefore be retiring from the blog world. If this is true, it would result in one of the preminent bloggers leaving. That coupled with the SST retirement, the GOP blogs will have a large gap in that 2 of the original bloggers will be gone.
Even so, congratulations to Chad for his new job. I am happy for him.

Also if this is true, it could signal a few things about 2009. More on that later.
