YearlyKos Front Paged - We Have Arrived

I really didn't intend to write a diary today, but I got very excited when I saw that our convention made the front page
above the fold of my local newspaper, the Sacramento Bee. I find it amazing on post-election day, that they found our party worthy of front-page news.
I see this as a sign that we have "arrived".
Props to Gina, who was instrumental in making YearlyKos a reality. From the article:
Gina Cooper is betting so, too. The 36-year-old former schoolteacher from Tennessee, who recently moved to Sonoma County, is a leading force behind the convention.
She said like-minded activists began talking about putting something like this together after President Bush's re-election in 2004.
They sought permission from Daily Kos founder Markos Moulitsas Zúniga to use the "Kos" name because it was such a popular Internet gathering point among self-described progressives. Daily Kos claims to get about 500,000 visitors a day.
