By now we all know that Democratic Party leaders were calling Hackett's "contributors" and asking them to withdraw their support.
And we all saw how viciously Kos went after Hackett when Paul withdrew from the race because Reid, Schumer, et.al., were intent upon destroying Hackett's candidacy....
Hackett was the quintessential "netroots" candidate -- a guy who was capable of attracting national support via the loose progressive on-line network.
Kos, of course, is a cornerstone of that network --- so if Reid, Schumer, Emmanuel, etc want to prevent a candidate from gaining "netroots" traction, they have to give Kos a call.....
So, given what we know, I think Kos owes his readers an explanation of his role in this fiasco. His nasty attack (and the quick, and even nastier, followup attack by his "partners" at MyDD.com) on Hackett does not appear to be a mere coincidence -- but it could be.
But Kos needs to tell us what's up, and do so ASAP, because the bottom line is that "Crashing the Gates" in order to belly up to the trough to suck down Dom Perignon is not what most of us had in mind....
