Cheerful boos for Hillary

At the YearlyKos convention, the mixed reception for Hillary Clinton is more evidence that the liberal blogosphere might not take sides in the coming Democratic primary.

    I wouldn't accuse others of vapidity

    When your making arguments like this:

    "I'd posit that many are misogynistic and wouldn't even vote for their mothers. Others are nicer, but, are still afraid to break with "tradition" and vote for a woman." - AnaHadWolves

    Good luck helping Clinton alienate even more of the country with this condescending, sub-academic psychoanalysis of why they refuse to avoid for a corporatist candidate who had been cheerleading the Iraq occupation less than a year ago.

    "The vociferous wing of DailyKOS who attended YearlyKOS, and who - judging by the reports - appear to be the majority of representatives there, are the same brand of self-absorbed blowhards that voted for Nader in 2000 despite knowing that the country's future hung in the balance." - jebldmm

    It's funny that you say this after an article that pointed out and numerous readers comments that attacked the Kos-community's willingness to compromise on principle to get the Democrats elected. The commenter who said that the Kos community are loyal party operatives first and loyal progressives second was absolutely right. Turn off the Fox News, friend.
