Last month, in a straw poll on the popular liberal blog Daily Kos, Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-N.Y.), the front-runner for her party's presidential nomination, won only 9 percent of the vote, lagging far behind former senator John Edwards (N.C.) with 36 percent and Sen. Barack Obama (Ill.) with 27 percent. She couldn't make it past 4 percent for most of the year.
But as the who's who of the progressive blogosphere -- the "Net roots" -- gather in Chicago for the Yearly Kos convention, which started yesterday, Clinton will be there. Her attendance underscores two seemingly contradictory realities: the growing influence of blogs as a powerful backroom player in Democratic circles and the fact that they don't reflect the views of most Democrats, much less the general public.
"The fact is, the Net roots cannot win elections by ourselves," Markos "Kos" Moulitsas Zúniga, founder of Daily Kos and the namesake of the event, said this week. "But we can be a key component to a winning Democratic strategy."
The convention's chief organizer is actually not Kos but Gina Cooper, a former high school teacher who became a Net-roots activist and borrowed Moulitsas's nickname to inaugurate the conference last year. Next year it will have another name.
"This event is much larger than any one blog," explained Cooper, "though we're all a fan of Kos and certainly not distancing ourselves from his blog."

KOmmie KOnvention Nutroots DUFU on the horizon?
Unfortunately, like the many gay pride parades across the country every year, the MSM will skip over the truly outrageous behavior and vile anti-American things said at this commie, left-wing, nut-job gathering.
At least O’Reilly features opposing views.
Olberman prefers only like-minded Bush-haters.
Then he can smirk and say, “See, I’m right.”
By the way, KO doesn’t pronounce l’s. Seems like an affectation.
dims=pigs wallowing in ****!

The new U.S. flag, 2009: |
LOL. The rabid drooling moonbats get to feed off each other’s blood for a couple of days before they go back to their separate caves. Maybe they should think about the fact that while Shrillery gets only 9% in their straw poll, she is (tragically) the overwhelming frontrunner and will almost certainly win the ‘RAT nomination (still praying that we will find the right dragon-slayer in time to defeat her in Nov. 2008). Maybe ‘RATs at large should think about the fact that the moonbats who think John Edwards and Hussein Obama are the rats’ meow will be trying to lead the party off a cliff in 2008 and beyond. OTOH, let them continue to rant and rave so long as conservatives start making a good political resurgence in time to save the Republican party and the country from the lunatics of the left.
So thats what Bert from sesame street would look like in real life.
