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.

    The danger of generalizations

    One thing not talked about is the profile of the members of the convention. The Washington Post says the members of KOS are 99% middle-aged white males (at least the members of the convention in 2007). So to extrapolate that progressives have mixed feelings about Hillary or anything else on the minds of progressives is skewed.

    As a female progressive blogger I don't even talk about the candidates yet. I am too concerned with trying to educate the people in my little world that what our community needs is to move into the 21st Century.
