Markos Moulitas and Harold Ford At Netroots Nation

I'll soon be seeing Harold Ford (A former conservative Democratic congressman from Tennessee) and Markos Moulitas (The nations top liberal blogger).

I agree more with Harold on issues of faith. He's a christian and pro-life.

I agree with Markos more on issues of protecting citizens from corporations and the government.

I'll let you know what I think.


Update 1: Pretty boring so far. Kos is reasonable and plays well to the crowd. Ford talks a lot, but like a good politician he isn't saying a whole lot.

Update 2: We can overlook simple disagreements on policy, but we're looking for Democrats to stand up and be proud to be Democrats - Kos

Update 3: Ford makes a good argument in favor of FISA saying the government officials that order spying should be accountable; not corporations doing the will of their American government.

Update 4: Ford warns against attacking Democrats who fit their districts like Democrats for strong gun rights in the South.

Update 5: Kos says of elected officials "they work for us."

Update 6: Ford makes the point that Centrist Democrats and Liberal Democrats agree on much: universal healthcare, education, new energy, etc.

Public Question Portion:

1. How do we get more diversity in the netroots? Technology democratizes activism and blogging is just one small part of that. - Kos

2. Personal attack on Harold Ford. I have great respect for my former colleagues (from FOX News) - Ford. "I fit my district" - Ford

3. Attack on Obama saying he's going to the right. "I want to see Barack Obama elected president." - Ford

4. FISA longwinded monologue.

5. I hate this guy he talks too long and doesn't ask a question.

My tip is that they should have an egg timer so questions don't exceed 1 minute. It's annoying when people I don't care about hog the time.
