Or not.

Kid Oakland, he of the “casual poetry” of Obama-fame (see example) is shocked, shocked that purging all the [not Obama] supporters from The Obama 527 Formerly Known As Daily Kos could have real life consequences:

There was a moment that gave me pause. I was having a friendly conversation with three SoCal kossacks in the hallway on Saturday when two Los Angeles-based delegates approached. These women, both experienced delegates and friendly Clinton supporters, were happy to chat about what we had in common: blog reading, support for Debra Bowen, curiosity about the Migden/Leno battle and the 2010 governor’s race. One of the women, wearing a Hillary button, went out of her way to compliment our group of younger delegates (wearing Obama buttons aside from me…a press pass guy) for attending the convention. I asked her if she read DailyKos and she replied curtly:

“I’m on strike from that blog.”

That surprised me.

That would be because you’re not talking to half the party—and you’re only reading the rec list at Kos. (It’s also likely that she only spoke to you because you weren’t wearing an Obama badge. Because otherwise why invite the abuse. Eh?)

I’ve met thousands of kossacks whether at Las Vegas or Chicago or events here in California, and I’ve never once had a negative experience asking if someone reads DailyKos. … Obama’s line about “Friends before and friends afterwards” is true.

That’s what struck me with that comment. I think we’ve all got to take a step back and think about that for a second. This was a woman who was cordial and welcoming and yet she felt estranged from DailyKos. The strike shut down the conversation.

Oh, it was the strike that shut down the “conversation”? What is this, the management perspective? I don’t think so. Maybe I got the title of the post wrong, ’cause I left out the “not” before “getting it.” I guess traffic must be down, after all, though, for this post even to have been written.  Read more

Actually, one of the diaries is really interesting, and you can see why it got recommended; it illustrates the “casual poetry” of the Obama campaign so well. It’s the one around the middle, titled “Hardball, What does Hillary want?”

Just give me a moment to slip into my scrubs and pull on my surgical gloves….

There! Follow me below the fold. (I added yellow highlighter to the best part.)  Read more 

You know, I do have one question after glancing at the Obama 527 Formerly Known As Daily Kos, which is:  Read more 

Wow:

Florida and Michigan played a valued role in this battle, proving they would risk their representation in order to demand a say in our nominee. It was a gamble that didn’t pay off, obviously, and there’s great irony in the fact that a later primary would’ve made them that much more influential this cycle.

But the original sentiment still applies — they risked huge in order to demand a say, and that sentiment will guide big changes in our nominating calendar in the future.

So regardless the fact that Michigan’s and Florida’s contests will end up being non-determinative to the nomination, their sacrifices will ultimately help create a system that gives more Americans a voice in the process.

Gee, thanks, Lord Kos!

The Falafel Blues

Everybody gather ’round, this ain’t no time for play
Get the women and children, I got somethin’ to say
Get grammy & grandpa, time to turn off the box
Set the lights down low and change all the locks

There’s a danger that’s coming, heck, it’s already here
Everybody tremble, we got somethin’ to fear
Ain’t that hard to figure, there are lots of clues
Hide the loofah, I got the falafel blues  Read more

[Welcome, Readers of Duncan The Grey. I was starting to think nobody noticed this one. Question: I thought by this time that it would be obvious that Bush wasn’t governing Constitutionally. Was I wrong?]

Just asking….

Since I won’t be in Chicago, I thought I’d put the Constitutional Question now.

Je repete: Say, Kos: “What is the Democrats’ plan to restore Constitutional Government?”

Is the replacement of Constitutional government by tyranny under Bush on anyone’s radar? Is there a workshop, maybe? Some kind of panel?

Kos? (Since your mission is to elect Democrats)

John Edwards?

Obama?

Hillary?  Read more
