Instead, they have helped unite us in a way I didn't think would be possible until after the primary. Way to go, Fox! -- kos) Senator Dodd's appearance on "The O'Reilly Factor" |

Given how big our movement is growing, it's great to see YearlyKos grow from its humble origins to the new, mighty, Netroots Nation. This movement is bigger than any one site, and the conference will definitely reflect that. As for me, apparently I'm |

| Quick note on what I find to be one of the more interesting criticisms of the Yearly Kos gathering -- that being the WaPo's insight (does it count as an insight if Gina tells it to you to your face?) that YK07 was mostly male and mostly white.
