Conversation on Markos Moulitsas

I happened to catch Markos Moulitsas on Charlie Rose last night. Here's a snipit of film from the interview... Not being much of a follower of Kos, I have to say I was astounded at his lack of "message". He did make the point that terms like "left" and "right" don't have much meaning these days, right after saying he's "supposedly left on the war", and then updating his resume with the facts that he used to be a Repub, and actually he's a libertarian when it comes to his own life (wouldn't want the US government in his bedroom, etc... - of course his wife has a lot to say about everything, etc...) but Karl Rove was really responsible for the collapse of the bridge in Minnesota. Oh, and there was a lot of giggling when Rose asked Markos what is the difference in positions taken by Hillary, Obama and Edwards in their campaigns relative to the war...

Markos' real message is something like: "The Netroots will support the Democratic ticket no matter what, and we don't want to put pressure on anyone in the meantime because we really don't care who the nominee is..." So much for dialogue....

Actually, Kos as a grouping is divided over the candidates between Edwards and Obama, with a few for Kucinich, but generally hostile to Hillary.

I know Markos doesn't speak for the Kos network, but he seemed pretty coy. I'm sure the Kos network is divided - who are some of your favorite bloggers there? I'm happy to feature them on The Hankster -- your one stop shop for independent news!
