Girl Bloggers at YearlyKos and it's Presidential Candidate Day!

Today is presidential candidate day at YearlyKos! Clinton, Edwards, Obama, Richardson, Dodd and Gravel will be here for 1 p.m. forum. Each candidate will participate in a breakout session with convention participants. We had to choose our candidate breakout session when we registered and I chose Edwards. We got a colored wristband that identifies which breakout session we can attend. All hell broke out when it was announced at the Thursday night keynote that Hillary would NOT be at her breakout - Ann Lewis would represent her. Then, the next morning, we were informed that Hillary would be here, but her breakout session would be at an earlier time to accommodate her schedule. No problem. I'll be at her session at noon. I switched with someone to get her wristband. I'm very curious how she'll be treated. So far, the sessions have been very respectful even if a panelist is not so well loved by the kossacks.

I went to a session this morning on female bloggers. Packed room and great panelists (photo above). Lots of these women have been harassed in the comments on their blogs and some have had to contact law enforcement. I have comment moderation for this reason.

To my Texas blogger friends - girl bloggers rule!

Oh, and for all of you idiot right wing bloggers and commentors - these are perfectly normal people here at Yearly Koks. Grassroots activists who are very, very smart and trying to make the world a better place. I have not seen anyone go off and act crazy or reveal their horns or tails. Glad yall are afraid of us, though, since you do fear very well - keep up the fear. It's going to get you nowhere in the short run and long run.
