campaign donations from lobbyist turning aside challenges from her two main rivals for the democratic presidential nomination with a rare defense of the special interest industry a lot of those lobbyists whether you like it or not represent real americans they actually do clinton said drawing bruce and his from liberal bloggers at the second early cos convention center senator john edwards of north carolina and senator barack obama of illinois put clinton on the spot during a forum that featured seven of the eight major democratic presidential candidates fielding questions from a crowd of fifteen hundred bloggers most of them liberal together in marked another advancement for the rising new wing of the democratic party the so called net roots the candidates were put on the spot from the start the first question went to mexico governor bill richardson who was asked why he wants sided justin byron white conservative  model supreme court justice i screwed up on that he replied clinton was asked what lessons she learned from her failed health care reform effort during the presidency of her husband bill clinton and she responded it is not enough to have a plan you've got to have political strategy and in that is what you said and ninety seconds i don't have time to tell you all the mistakes i made obama said he would allows us to continue running a budget deficit to meet health care and other needs we've got to make some investments play headlong into the internet era also and candidates fought for the support of the powerful polarizing liberal blogosphere by promising universal health care aggressive government spending government he said the nation needs big change not small change edwards the party's two thousand and four vice presidential nominee called on the field to join him to refusing donations from lobbyists he suggested that refusing to do so would make democrats no better than republicans we don't want to trade their insiders for ours he said clinton who accept such donations did not respond to edwards until much later in the forum when the question was put to her and even then she stalled by stating the obvious i think it's a position that john certainly has taken she said drawing laughter from the crowd it was not clear whether the audience was laughing with her or at her then the less the bloggers wouldn't hissed when clinton issued a moment later the insisted that nobody would believe that she could be influenced by lobbyist so would she continue to accept these the donations and she said yes i will are going to plenty of lobbyist represent good causes represent nurses they represent social workers to represent us they represent corporations that employ a lot of people obama rejected the argument saying lobbyist aren't work for the public good they have an agenda he insiste crowd would get his point whether he mentioned her by name or not on terrorism he said i don't believe we're safer i don't agree with senator clinton on that in a previous debate clinton said the country had been made safer clinton explained  nine eleven reforms have improved the nation's safety to cow countries not as safe under president bush as it should be i listen carefully to john i think we have a vigorous agreement she said coldly the cost convention is a sign of the times gone are the days when candidates and political parties could talk to passy voters through mass media largely controlling what message were distributed how the messages went out and who heard them the internet has helped create millions of media outlets and given anyone the power to express an opinion or decimate information in a global forum and connect with others who have similar interests one way of doing this is through online journals or blogs such as tho celebrated saturday other people are getting involved politically through social networking sites such as my space dot com and via video sharing sites such as you tube dot com some political bloggers have huge audiences of people who trust their one thing most bloggers have in common the gods of their political leanings is an intense frustration with the political establishment particularly in washington and so it has was a convention dripping in the irony when liberal bloggers welcomed the living symbols of the democratic status quo seven presidential candidates and audience member asked the candidates whether they would hire an official white house blogger edward said yes and her name will be elizabeth edwards his wife former alaska senator mike gravel said the next president shouldn't hire somebody to blog do it  yourself now here's a very strange story out of new york an ice cream truck parked in front of a junior high school was offering
