I'm sure she is a very nice person... (2.00 / 1)

First, she's a Democrat and from my experience Democrats are more caring and more open people.  Second, I never doubted her sincerety.  I think she felt abused by DKos bloggers and decided to invest her energy here at MyDD.  And due to said abuse, she felt that it was right to use some of the more weak arguments and to put a harsher tone on it.  I do hope she will be on our side when Obama is the nominee, b/c she is very effective and a good writer.

Sorry, but I have to disagree..... (1.25 / 4)

She's not a good writer....she's a good copy-and-paster.....MAYBE.

And more importantly....hasn't Alegre claimed that she has never met and/or that she does not work for Clinton???

Dosen't this prove otherwise and therefore make her a liar???

Alegre is a good blog writer... (2.00 / 1)

Part of blogging is finding an article or something and posting about it (not always, but most of the time).  Alegre lays out what she wants well and gets her point across very clearly.  Moreover, she has a following.  I would say that makes her effective and a good writer.

I have no knowledge of whether she met Clinton or works on the campaign, but particpating in a conference call does not make her a liar on those points.

Just b/c one has a following does not (2.00 / 1)

make one "good" at anything, especially writing.

David Broder has a following.......the Cleveland Browns have a following.....Bush has a following.....O'Reilly has a following.....

Broder is not a good writer, the Browns are not a good football team, Bush is not a good President, and O'Reilly is not a good tv show host.

Re: Sorry, but I have to disagree..... (none / 0)

So, if one meets a candidate, that makes them paid by that candidate?  No I don't believe Alegre has said she never met her.  I am sure she has, but she is obviously not a "paid" blogger.  If you listened to the audio you can tell she is no more a paid blogger than Armando, or the rest of the questioners on the call.

This is (none / 0)

Not an attack, just a factcheck.  From Meet Me In Denver!, which is currently recommended:

I don't know her personally but I think I've learned enough about her strength and character over the past year to know that she's not one who gives up easily.

That's not a claim she has never met senator Clinton, but it's close.
