I just noticed that the DNC's Blog will be having Al Franken guest blogging on Monday. Excellent! Further down the blog, I see that they had an entry where bloggers could submit questions to Ted Kennedy and they are going to post his answers latter on the blog. Again, Excellent! This is what I have been hoping to see them do ever since they started the Kicking Ass blog. The reason for the DNC to have a blog, beyond just the idea of fostering a community, is to provide a way for the grassroots (okay, netroots) to interact with the DNC and party leaders, provide feedback and hopefully even let some ideas bubble up from the 'roots. For those of you have been reading Daily Kos for a while, you might remember several months back when Kos was trying to get the DNC to start a blog (among other things) and posters on that thread were suggesting the idea of guest bloggers and blog interviews. We have the DNC's attention now. KOS mentioned in a previous thread that they are even paying attention to the Diaries on this site (KOS, by the way, I LOVE the new site. Scoop is truly awesome.) So why don't we make some of those suggestions again.
