I subscribe to lots of YouTube channels, and now follow those more closely than text topics at DailyKos. I'm just posting two stories worth seeing.
(1) Jesse Ventura might run for the United States Senate and is running strong in Minnesota.
This worries me. I'd thought, back when Al announced his run for Senate, that he'd win it handily. I don't know why, I just did.
(1) How is Al Franken doing in Minnesota? Jesse Ventura to run as 3rd party candidate?
(2) Dan Rather at National Conference for Media Reform in Minneapolis, June 6 - 8, 2008 interviewed about what's wrong with broadcast news in America.
Al Interviewed later today:
(2) Dan Rather talks to Minneapolis TV about what's wrong with broadcast news in America -- and the movement to help fix it gathering at the National Conference for Media Reform in Minneapolis, June 6 - 8, 2008.

And I got a note today from Gina at Netroots Nation urging people to attend, if they can, this year's Democracy Forum, quoting Josh Marshall:
If you're going to pick one year to go to the annual Personal Democracy Forum conference this is the year to do it given just how much focus there is on the role the web is playing in this year's election.
It's June 23rd and 24th at Lincoln Center here in New York City (see the program here). The Internet Directors for six of the presidential campaigns will be there -- including those for Clinton, McCain and Obama. And I'll be speaking on a panel about online political videos.
If all that weren't enough, the first ten people to email conference at personaldemocracy dot com and mention TPM in your email will get a special $100 discount. So check out the program and I'll see you there.
