What is her understanding of that book? <BR/><BR/>Has she read it?<BR/><BR/>What do you call an academic that bloviates without reading or researching? The proper term is unemployable. Thank heavens for tenure and taxpayers.<BR/><BR/>Having read Kos, Daou, Digby, Yglesias, FDL, Atrios, the LA Times, and the NYTimes I think I know what it is about. But I won't pretend to tell you what is actually in it, or interpret someone's statements based on my "knowing" what is in it.<BR/><BR/>My understanding is that it's about winning elections and reforming the Democratic Party. If Hillary Clinton can do that, Kos will be all for her. If she wins the primary, Kos will be behind her 100 percent. What is Daou's role? Not to threaten her with Kos or coopt Kos with her, but to help Hillary understand how to use the netroots to fight back to a weak and lazy press.<BR/><BR/>The folks that should feel threatened by the book? The consultants that help the Democrats lose and get rehired. The party mechanisms that lead to those consultants. Bob Shrum.
