The biggest test all along for the liberal and progressive blogospheres has been how to function with the Democrats in power (if even only partially so).
Would the life, would the spirit, remain? Would we still apply the appropriate grassroots pressure, or would the netroots sell out?
Would the reliance on principles and values that sustained this movement survive the infection of the political operatives?
I'm not sure that question has been answered, or that those who have ventured to answer it have found conclusions we would like to hear.
I am interested in hearing what everyone thinks about this, and this is not a timely diary, you can answer any time.
