People in Washington need to wrap their minds around the fact that this stuff really is bubbling up from below and it's real. Bloggers are merely in the vanguard of a rising leftwing populist sentiment around the country. It is a predictable reaction when a party ceases to be responsive to its voters. Liberalism has been moribund for some time now. This is a chance to at least begin the process of resuscitation and could be used by the political establishment as a useful counter-weight to help drag the country back from the brink of rightwing extremism.(If that's what they want, that is.) Smart politicians will accept this and find a way to use its strength strategically, not fight it.

In the words of my 10th grade science teacher, "Nature abhors a vacuum" and there has been a vacuum of leadership on the left, and in the nation in general, for a long time. Bloggers are filling that vacuum. A great post rebutting the 'whiny Dems' who are afraid their country club is about to go public.
