The Hillary question
Thanks, but you misunderstand the gist of what I am saying.
I'm certainly <strong>not</strong> saying that the Netroots activists are lined up behind Hillary for President at the moment, although IF she is the Dem candidate in 08 that is exactly what would happen, obviously, since the Netroots are hardcore anti-Republican.
The question I raise is 'where are the Netroots now on ending the war in Iraq?' especially as the November 2008 election looms larger and closer and the war drags on.
Will the overwhelmingly partisan Democratic Netroots take their cue on the war from the candidates, their campaign managers, and the Dem leadership, or will the Netroots themselves be a critical part of the citizen leadership in the splintered movement to end the war?
This is a very important question, especially given the failure of the Netroots and the anti-war movement to hold the Congress accountable so far regarding ending the war.
These questions are very important to discuss, and I'm looking forward to our "Breakfast with the Troops" where I'm sure they will be examined. 9am Sunday, August 5, Yearly Kos. Be there.
Regarding Hillary, there is a very good chance that she will be the Democratic nominee and of course at that moment I have no doubt that the overwhelmingly Dem partisan Netroots will work like heck for her election over any Republican.
