Blogging gridlock?

Blogger has been slow, to inaccessible the last couple of days. It was literally impossible to access my blog or anyone else - i.e. Althouse - on Blogger today. As I've 'surfed' through other Blogger sites, I've noticed quite a few new sites. I can't attribute them all to the election, but I think quite a few people are looking for alternative ways to express their opinions about this election - and blogging is one way.

I see this as analogous to January 1 at the YMCA. I will see all the new people taking up equipment time, promising to fulfill their resolutions. By mid-February, the gym is back to normal. Let's see how long the election keeps people's attention - and blogging?
