I always get a little worried about candidates grousing about the campaign ethics of others since that is just an engraved invitation to be hoisted on your own petard.  Obama has been making electoral hay out of his (misleading) argument that he is not in the pocket of lobbyists.  Dude has taken a ton of money, just like Clinton and McCain.  Always dicey for a "new politics" candidate to essentially dare the other candidates to prove that he is down rooting in the old politics mud with the rest of them, thus making fools of his "change" voters all along.

The problem is also that since the credibility of the vast majority of the left blogosphere is pretty much gone, knowing that bloggers like Kos are a part of it makes one skeptical as to the merits of their arguments.

It's sad that is the case, but the fact is that we have to look at people's past records of credibility.  The argument may end up holding up in court, but knowing that Kos and friends are making it makes me, unfortunately, less likely to believe it.

an email from firedoglake and kos yesterday and promptly unsubscribed from any further emails. I had deleted firedoglake from my favorites but forgot to unsubscribe.

If Jane has allied herself with kos then I will judge her by the company she keeps. Lay down with dogs, you get up with fleas.

Alienating a good share of the left will have consequences.
