His Libertarian views? It means he will go after Cameron just as much as Brown. His readership, which includes members of all Political Parties (including nutty UKIPPERS). He has made his site the largest political blog in the UK by far.
The Telegraph even since Blair went literally just reprinted Labour spin emails and press releases, which is why they were caught out on the smear stories. That piece on Staines was written by the Downing Street bunker. It was a Downing Street hit piece. The original article as written also broke many data protection and privacy rules.
Almost all of the hit pieces about Ministers that have come from Mandleson have gone to The Times and Telegraph. The Budget details for this year were leaked to The Times and Telegraph.
The Sun endorsed Labour again in 2005 (I doubt they will do so again).
