Teen Blogger Turns Heads Online (Liberal media swoon BARF Alert)

Stephen Yellin posts a minutiae-filled analysis of Senate, House and gubernatorial races across the country almost weekly on Daily Kos, the most-trafficked liberal political blog on the Net. Other posters laud his thoroughness and debate his conclusions.
He has landed a spot as a political operative with a major Democratic presidential nominee. He's walked precincts, volunteered for campaigns and run for office.
He is also 15 years old -- too young to drive to his local polling station, let alone cast a vote there.
Yellin is just a sophomore in high school, but in the blogosphere he is already a veteran.
Yellin, who goes by the handle MrLiberal and calls himself a Hubert Humphrey-style Democrat, has been hanging out with political junkies online since he was 13.
Yellin's posts are not of the "me too" or "your candidate flip-flops" variety. Instead, they read like memos written by a Democratic National Committee senior staffer.

Contrast this article swooning over a liberal teen (who doesn't have to pay taxes, etc) to this teen posted before on FReep. http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=36760.

Instead, they read like memos written by a Democratic National Committee senior staffer. Is this meant to praise the teen, or blast senior staffers?

they read like memos written by a Democratic National Committee senior staffer. And that's a good thing?

Sounds like a bright, but misguided kid. I'd bet within 10 years he'll overcome his youthful idealism for a more conservative stance. Probably once he has to pay his own way.

He's been embraced by and brought into the power structure, and it's probably already gone to his mush-filled head. He may never need to pay his own way.
Nothing short of Divine intervention will straighten this kid out.
