YearlyKos is underway in Vegas, baby. We watched some on CSPAN yesterday.

The NYT says it might be:
"As became clear from the rather large and diverse crowd here, the blogosphere has become for the left what talk radio has been for the right: a way of organizing and communicating to supporters. Blogging is nowhere near the force among Republicans as it is among Democrats, and talk radio is a much more effective tool for Republicans."
We're certainly happy to see a better "fight" emerge. It's been pretty one-sided since 1994 and the GOP Contract with America. If politics is a spectator sport, and we take it that way, it's kinda boring when one side seems to win all the time.
The Dems have really struggled to redefine who they are and then communicate that, and THEN translate that into VOTES. Wonder why?
Anyway, the blogosphere is certainly heating up....and is certainly a great tool for communicating and sharing. "We don't spend a lot of time in cars, but we do spend a lot of time on the Internet," said Jerome Armstrong, a blogging pioneer and a senior adviser to Mr. Warner, who has been the most aggressive among the prospective 2008 candidates in courting this community."

But will they leave the Internet and VOTE? We'll all be watching.
