I'm at the NDN Annual Meeting this morning, where Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton just addressed the conference. And while 99% of her speech would have bloggers nodding if not cheering, she couldn't resist throwing in a little dig at the blogosphere.
Many online vehemently oppose Senator Clinton's Presidential ambitions, and she has made the tactical decision to ignore the blogosphere rather than engaging with it -in my opinion, a poor choice.
But at the conference, the Senator said much with which progressive bloggers would enthusiastically agree. She drew clear distinctions with Republicans on major policy areas such as health care, making higher education affordable, and a competent FEMA. She made a clear case for the importance of Congressional oversight of what is going on in the executive branch. She believes that having an honest discussion about Iraq in Congress is vital. She even mentioned Net Neutrality. It was a laundry list, but it was good laundry, at least. Until a questioner asked her about blogs.
