I like Kos and Firedoglake because, although they started out as just blogs, they have matured into communities of passionate, informed activists, who watch the traditional media closely and call them on inaccuracies, deliberate or otherwise. They also raise quite a bit of netroots cash for candidates they deem worthy. I would agree. Trouble for the Democrats is that the Koskids et. al, have managed to set themselves up practically as a litmus test for Democratic candidates. Which would be good news if they were anywhere near the center of opinion of American voters, but they're not. Not even close. So they have just exacerbated the traditional political problem of having to run towards the left in primaries, then switch to the center in the general election. Now candidates have to run past the Kos gauntlet of vitriol, should they stray even somewhat towards the center. Except Hillary, maybe. If Hillary gets a pass from Kos, it will be a huge advantage for her.
