Rightroots Growing Like a Weed

The Rightroots project, the right side of the blogosphere's answer to Net/Nutroots (which is currently befrenzied over its hatred of Joe Lieberman (see previous post)) has come out of the gate swinging with both barrels blazing like a bat out of hell.

In the few days the project has been underway, it's hauled in more then $28,000 for its endorsed House and Senate candidates, plus $14,000 in matching funds pledged by blog booster extraordinaire Rep. Jack Kingston (R-GA).

But perhaps the most telling sign of the project's insta-relevance is the overnight transmogrification of one of its principals, blogger Mary Katherine Ham, into a beguiling cartoon icon (see here and here).  I know you're impressed that I knew her back when she was a mere live-action type.
