Earlier, I wrote about the declining interest in the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan among the formerly-passionate antiwar activists attending the Netroots Nation convention.  Here’s one more bit from the Stanley Greenberg straw poll that was the basis for my earlier post.

Greenberg tried to assess the attendees’ feelings toward several people in the news.  In the poll, he asked, “Please indicate your feelings toward some people using a scale from 0 to 100, with one hundred meaning a very warm, favorable feeling; zero meaning a very cold, unfavorable feeling; and fifty meaning not particularly warm or cold…The higher the number, the more favorable your feelings are toward that person or organization.”
