Netroots Nation Dispatch

If you ever wonder whether the Netroots Nation has earned legitimacy, this one fact should make you wonder no longer.

It turns out the conservatives are putting on their own competing conference called the American Dream Summit this Friday and Saturday in Austin. The delightfully-named Americans for Prosperity report that some of the luminaries that have confirmed they are showing up for this conference are Michele Malkin, Grover Norquist and Robert Novak. Now if we can just get a pass to their festivities, my week in Austin will be complete.
