Analysis of YearlyKos

Sorry for the break in posts to the blog. I'm on a road trip visiting friends and not always able to access the internet. Here in Ohio with rain on the roof and wireless access, some info is pouring in. Friends relayed this nugget from the Washington Post. I'll do some scoping around myself and hope to add other links here later to help analyze the YearlyKos meeting.

Meanwhile I can report from many more hours listening to the right wing on the car radio that their hatred of the blogosphere (which they now conflate with the Democratic Party, or perhaps vice versa) is not diminishing with the passage of a few days since the YearlyKos ended. We are accused of hating the United States, of "wanting to lose" this war. Hannity seems to be leading the charge on this, along with O'Reilly. No need to shut our mouths -- just be aware of incoming fire. It's further proof of the impact of the blogosphere.

And as to analyzing the impact of YearlyKos, what better than to see a report on the bar at the convention center hotel: hardly any beer left! With photographic evidence in this link. That's Markos himself in the photo. We had fun while upsetting the wingnuts.

UPDATE: One of the unexpected turns of YearlyKos, to my mind, was the strong link with the Teamsters Union that showed up on Saturday afternoon. Here's a link looking at that event and the next step that could be taken. Question: are our Miami-Dade schoolbus drivers unionized?
