So I went to Hotline’s Blogometer, to see how the fundraising totals were playing on the lefty blogs. And I notice that the first three items quote Matt Stoller of MyDD, and the first four items quote MyDD. And the next to last item, for five of the total thirteen items, not counting the closing joke.

I like Conn Carroll, but I’m not the first to make this observation. I wouldn’t pretend to be an expert on which lefty blogs are genuinely influential… is MyDD considered the blog whose voice carries the most weight? I’m asking, not being sarcastic here.

Anyway, the complaint that prompted me to raise my eyebrows – the argument that James Carville shouldn’t be one of the voices from “the left” in CNN’s roundtables, since he is considered a Hillary partisan (Carville denies it) and has subtly taken shots at Obama.

By the way, in the last item, Chris Bowers of MyDD compares today’s progressive movement to the French Revolution. I always appreciate it when our friends on the other side of the aisle make clear their enthusiasm for a political upheaval symbolized by the guillotine.
