Kos says no. Well, more like not so much.
I think the definition of “netroots” is the only answer to this sort of question.
I consider myself part of the netroots insofar as that’s where I get a majority of my news. I’ve been a reader since 2002, and I frequently vote in the netroots polls. But, I don’t really post (except here and only in the last 6 months on the invitation of Mr. Beutler) or comment and I don’t give any money. My philosophy probably also doesn’t fit neatly with the netroots. I’m philosophically pretty liberal, but more of an institutionalist than say, Atrios.
So, does Hillary get to claim all her accomplishments as “netroots” support or is Kos right that most of the netroots don’t support her?
Depends on the definition, I guess. Obama is breaking new ground as well, but neither is he leading the polls at dKos.
I guess I don’t know what net-roots means, and I don’t know how to spell it, either.
