Instant CongressUpcoming eventsWords to live byIn the Beltway’s eyes, Markos leads a movement of progressives in the blogosphere. But this is inaccurate, and Markos would be the first to tell you so. Markos doesn’t lead the movement. He stands in front of it and is symbolic of it, but the movement’s direction and interests flow directly from the people who compose it. The movement is a bottom-up thing, not something that a guy leads from the top. It’s probably comforting for Democratic politicians to believe that Markos leads the movement in the progressive blogosphere. That being the case, all they have to do is soothe the savage breasts of Markos and other rabble-rousing bloggers and then get back to business as usual. That’s why Democratic politicians are so unfailingly solicitous of the liberal bloggers. Subscribe Buttons                    | ||
Report what catches my attention
I've posted some Edwards and Obama stuff from time to time. Richardson is just doing the most interesting things at the moment. North Korea trip was pretty neat. I get the Prez on the Rez stuff from INDN, not Richardson and I tend to publicize INDN stuff. I'd love it if the other candidates were paying attention to Indian Country, but so far they haven't been.
Besides, you do plenty of Edwards stuff and, Obama and Hillary, god help them, get some coverage from Holland and Wallner. So I figure Richardson needs some attention.
As to where Richardson stands, he is a bit to the right on some things. In some cases I am as well (e.g. death penalty). In other cases his position is more complicated than simply left and right and I like how he expresses the complexity (e.g. immigration). And on Iraq he comes off the best.
I am still liking Richardson, Obama AND Edwards and feel each brings something diffrerent to the table.
