There is an idealizing function of representation that is intrinsically and deeply democratic and somehow present in all modern democratic constitutions. This paper discloses this function in John Rawls' theory of political founding and argues that is determinant of his idea of a constitutional agreement. Representation in the constitutional moment entails quite clearly a detachment from social, cultural or religious identity. The representational act of idealizing entails extricating political judgment from the positions people effectively occupy in society. This is the process of idealization or fictional judgment that occurs in Rawls' Original Position.

This study examined gender inequity among the most-read political blogs on the Web. Sampling over one year from blog rankings, we found that 10% of the top bloggers were women. Discourse analysis of bloggers' explanations for gender disparity revealed three dominant beliefs: women do not blog about politics, women's blogs lack quality, and top bloggers do not link to women's sites. We use network and feminist theory to explore these claims and offer suggestions for increasing the representation of female voices in the political Blogosphere.
