Last week, hundreds of liberal bloggers descended upon Austin, Texas for the Netroots Nation convention. The convention, formerly known as Yearly Kos, can be described as the premier gathering of the most liberal fringes of American politics.
And who was there to party with America’s liberal bloggers? The Bruce Lunsford campaign, of course. Lunsford even purchased a gift for each of the bloggers in attendance.
In a blog post today, the Lunsford campaign describes the liberal convention as “energizing.”
It seems those in attendance felt exactly the same way. In an official Netroots Nation video (watch below), one blogger also used the word “energizing” to describe his experience.
Energizing is an ironic word choice, as Speaker Nancy Pelosi used the convention to reassure environmentalists that she would prevent a vote on expanded domestic energy production. We aren’t sure what’s energizing about allowing gas prices to continue to rise.
The Lunsford campaign’s trip to Netroots Nation follows their decision to reach out to the Daily Kos wing of the Democrat party. Lunsford now has a diary on Daily Kos, where he posted his first entry last week.
Even John Kerry delinked Daily Kos from his campaign website because of “unacceptable statements” on the blog. Kerry’s decision to delink the site followed Daily Kos blog posts celebrating the deaths of American soldiers in Fallujah.
