| I had the pleasure of sitting in on a blogger conference call earlier today with Senator-elect Jeff Merkley (who I also had the opportunity to interview in September).
Open Left, D-Day, Progressive Blue, and Get Energy Smart Now! all offer write ups of the conference call, on which he discussed the economy, energy policy, progressive change, and Joe Lieberman.
One larger subtext is that he made time to hold a conference call with bloggers just one day after his Republican opponent conceded to him, which shows that he intends to remain a friend to the blogosphere after Senator-elect Merkley is sworn in as Senator Merkley. It's a great thing when a real progressive replaces a fake moderate in the U.S. Senate. |
