2000 Showed Up At Netroots Nation

Nancy Pelosi at Netroots Nation

The Washington Post today tells me that some 2000 people showed up at Netroots Nation 2008, the meeting for bloggers with a progressive political orientation.
Hardest Worker and Best Dressed honors went to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who kicked off Saturday morning's program with a freewheeling 40-minute "Ask the Speaker" session. ("Damn, Nancy looks grrreat in that pantsuit," a blogger was overheard saying.) Most Popular would go to Al Gore, who brought the crowd of more than 2,000 conventioneers to its feet with his surprise appearance, repeatedly asking bloggers to visit WeCanSolveIt.org, home to his new group, the Alliance for Climate Protection.
Comment: Sounds like my kind of people, except I don't do many mob scenes these days. Lets hope that we bloggers can turn out the voters for Obama and the progressive causes! JAD
