On July 10, 2006, the blogosphere did something brand new. On line friends of Brian Keeler held a
"Blog-Raiser" in New York CIty for the Keeler2006 campaign. Not only was it attended live by over 150 people, but hundreds attended on line here at DailyKos due to the live blogging efforts done by "lipris" and "Night Bird."
The evening was a huge success. John Hall, congressional candidate from the 19th District, stopped by to endorse Brian in his race for the State Senate. Democratic Senate Minority Leader, David Paterson, Deputy Minority Leader, Eric Schneiderman, and Liz Krueger, Senator from the upper east side of Manhattan all came by lend their support.
See the video after the flip...
For those of you who missed the event or attended on line and want to get a hit of the energy in the room, here's the video, shot and edited by Mark Bowllan:
We are gathering steam and my opponent is hearing footsteps. In an article in the Columbia County newspaper, The Independent, he said of yours truely:
I'm advised that his principle callings are that of blogging and acting: perhaps he believes that permits him to re-define reality."
The idea that a professional politician would accuse anyone of re-defining reality is an interesting concept.
We are looking to keep the momentum going. If you'd like to support our netroots effort, you can CONTRIBUTE HERE.
