FLASHPOINT for Jun 08, 2006

Thu, Jun 8, 2006 (7:33 a.m.)

If you want to see just how big the political blogosphere is becoming, all you have to do is look around a convention starting today in Las Vegas: YearlyKos. The gathering is sponsored by the huge liberal Web site, dailykos.com, and has attracted a slew of elected officials and residential wannabes in addition to many bloggers. One of the keynotes will be delivered by - the site's description - Senate Minority Leader Give 'em Hell Harry Reid. One poster on the site also suggests that one thing visitors should do to make the Las Vegas sojourn more pleasant: "Do not challenge Harry Reid to 'go a few rounds in the ring.' You will lose. Badly." My guess is the senator has had enough boxing references for awhile.
