Yearly Kos

Although many of the Democratic candidates, particularly all the frontrunners, are attending the Yearly Kos convention, a lollapalooza for bloggers, media, and party activists, it's clear Hillary is making some serious efforts to garner some blogger love. True, Daily Kos likes to hate on her (Daily Kos, though often filled interesting info and honest, relevant analysis, can be haters) and yet, here she is, defending them against Bill O'Reilly's scathing remarks about daily kos.

Besides her quick response to O'Reilly and generous remarks about kos, she's continued her blog-love efforts with this, rearranging her schedule completely in order to participate in Yearly Kos's small, break out sessions with the candidates. Even though she had already made it clear that she couldn't make the sessions due to scheduling issues (not the Rudy/Romney -let's-avoid-real-questions-from-Americans-incl-snowmen kind of scheduling issues) she's recognizing the importance the netroots have on campaigns. Interestingly, while we think of the net as only young people, almost 40% of fbook users are over the age of 35, 46% of myspace users are over 35 yrs, and more than half of youtube users are 35 yr to 64 yr (comScore). Clinton can reach out to us collegiates, and Grandma, all at the same time.
