I was first attracted to this blog by the left leaning commentary about current issues. What it seems to be morphing into is a site for people obsessed with the arcane details of running campaigns and also raising money. I am a political junkie myself but even I am getting overloaded with this sort of stuff on the blog.
I know it's an election year, but what I like about the blog is talk about WHY to support left causes. The nuts and bolts stuff and the behind the scenes details are starting to get a lot more prominent than they used to be and personally I find it a lot less interesting to log onto Kos than I used to.
Imagine how a first-timer will feel when they find numerous posts asking for money or looking at the campaign details of sub-state level races where they dont live. They might well not come back any time soon. So, I guess this is a plea to remember your roots. I can well imagine that it is very fun to be a player in the election, but dont forget what it was that made you a player in the first place.
