Leftist blogosphere holds convention in Vegas

News story here. Another piece here from Time magazine.

Also being followed by much of the blogosphere on both sides. No links...if you like blogs, you already know where they are. Oh, what the heck...check here.

For those who don't get their feet muddy in the blogosphere, Daily Kos is the pinnacle of the leftist blogs, and also routinely holds a place at or near the top of "most visited" blogs overall.

Politicians are uncertain of how to deal with this, since these blogs may end up throwing a lot of political weight around (haven't so far--Kos's record of supporting winners is nil), but they also attract the more extreme end of the political Left, where most Democratic politicians have been fearing to tread.

At least, according to this article, until now. A lot of big names are showing up, and not all of them holding positions immune to political challenge. They might know that nobody is going to win by embracing the internet, but they also know that it's dangerous to ignore it.

In any case, this isn't going to make Marcos' head any smaller.
