Sessions on "War, Foreign Policy and Activism" and "Political Journalism: Problems and Solutions" were full of attendees, while more than half the chairs were empty as Tom Vilsack, the Iowa governor and potential 2008 candidate, spoke about education. Two of the leaders of the popular liberal site Mydd.com, Chris Bowers and Matt Stoller, announced they would start using Blogpac, one of the fundraising arms of the liberal blogs, to raise money to "defend the Netroots" by fighting laws that...
