...I do not remember one example of someone saying..."oh you are right I shall change my entire political world view...."

I havent' seen anything so extreme either, but I really do think we influence each other in smaller, but quite real, ways.

I've been influenced by arguments posted by several on the political left. Bowser made a powerful impact on my thinking with his posts about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Lindy's been saying for some time something that was actually admitted last night on CNN...namely, that US coverage of the war is, for the most part, decidedly "spun." (Which isn't to say it's untruthful, just not really balanced. A commentator from Al Jazeera admitted that their coverage was spun somewhat in the other direction from CNN's coverage. As always, balance lies between the extremes.)

Anyway, while minds may not be changed in here, they are certainly influenced, imho. :-)
