Cokie Roberts

If you want a dose of inside-the-beltway conventional wisdom, Cokie Roberts is always a safe bet.

So when she says that the "NetRoots" is unlikely to accept Hillary Clinton as Secretary of State, as she has said more than once this week, what she is really saying is that conventional, inside-the-beltway wisdom is that there is an "other" (as in, not us) called "NetRoots," that "NetRoots" is anti-Hillary, and that is because it is wild-eyed leftist.

All of which suggests she doesn't spend much time on the net. But it's always useful to know what conventional wisdom is saying.
