Remember
this blowout over the disgraceful state of the
DSCC blog? You should. Hell, I only wrote it on Saturday.
Well, give yourselves a little pat on the back, folks. In a little noticed diary today, Kossack QWQ informs us that the DSCC has stepped up and made an effort to kick start the blog!
Now, it should be noted that QWQ originally took great exception to my approach and offered by way of defense of the DSCC that their
News page was well-maintained and frequently updated enough to serve as a "Talking Points Memo"-style, comment-less blog. And he was right. My concern, however, was that people who didn't know about that resource would be arriving at the blog, and finding it moribund. Besides, I thought, how hard could it be to simply cross-post the new material from the News page onto the blog, and let people discuss it?
And lo, it was done.
So how about a little love for the newly-active "From the Roots", and for its blogger-in-chief (or at least the guy who rolled up his sleeves and did the work), Communications Director Phil Singer?
How about it, Phil? Interested in a little cross-pollenation with Daily Kos? Maybe we could help repopulate your place. DCCC blogger Jesse Lee probably has a few nice things to say about his efforts to do the same. We're glad you've picked up the ball. Now let's run with it!
Thanks for the back-up, everyone. Now let's fill that place up.
