Dispatch From Yearly Kos

The conference started yesterday with a number of panels. I attended several on how to raise/make money blogging. In the afternoon I attended a few caucuses of state and local bloggers. In addition I moderated a Southern bloggers event representing Mississippi. This was a surprise as I only found out that I was doing so minutes before. I probably missed an e-mail. Oops. It was good though. :)

I've liked the people here more than I have at other conferences I've gone to. They appear (overall) levelheaded and very much disciplined and ready to get down to business. People here aren't here to complain. They are here to learn and build.

Howard Dean gave two speeches Thursday evening and I got in to both. I was impressed as he gave two different speeches and both were good. I'll try to get video up of one of them soon (likely after the primary).

One thing he touched on which I was happy to hear was his aggressive outreach to religious persons including Rev. Rick Warren.

Much progress has been made in the last few years with the National Democratic Party and being open and available to religious persons like myself.

    This was a good post. I hope you make a lot of money with this blog. There is no better tax lesson.
