Nice article

It has been odd reading DKos these last few weeks. One of the things that has been missed over there is that Obama didn’t cultivate the existing ‘Netroots’ he built his own, and even though it was in plain sight they either missed it or ignored it.

 

Now, reading some of the dairies I get the feeling that they feel they own him, he is their creation. So when he doesn’t play by their rules they throw a hissy fit and in the case of Markos, hold back a donation.

 

But look at the GOP. Sections of them literally hate McCain, but they have (largely) shut up and not made the waves we are seeing on the left side of the blogosphere.

 

As a foreigner I watch in horror as Bush was re-elected last time, winning an election he had no right to win. It would be even harder to watch a repeat.
