Week of January 6, 2008 - January 12, 2008

The Firedoglake crowd


seems more than a little upset overall with Ned Lamont for endorsing Obama.

I thought that was real interesting, perhaps evidence of how group-think ends up working on blogs. Here at TPM Cafe, the emphasis of late seems to have jumped to defending Obama (or not, of course, but the "not" people are put on the defensive side here, put in the position of challengers to conventional wisdom) from threads in the past where he wasn't liked as much. There, the Ned Lamont campaign supporters apparently convinced each other that Lamont was less of a moderate and more of a John Edwards kinda guy than they thought, just because John Edwards endorsed Lamont, and now they are upset that he endorsed Obama? Here on TPMCafe I see a trend of people convincing each other that Obama is not moderate but the true "progressive"?
