The Two Worlds of the Liberal Blogosphere
They’re both on display at YearlyKos.

Las Vegas—“There’s no doubt we’re turning the political world upside down,” said DailyKos founder Markos Moulitsas Thursday night as he gave the “keynote” address to open the YearlyKos convention here at the Riviera Hotel. “We have arrived. Look at this conference.”
The crowd—about 1,000 people were registered to attend—loved it. And their support of Moulitsas highlighted one side of the liberal blogosphere on display at YearlyKos—a side that is confident, cocky, and almost triumphal. But there’s another side, too, and it is nearly the opposite: a frustrated side, without Moulitsas’s confidence and worried that left-wing bloggers still haven’t won—and might never win—acceptance in the mainstream political world.
