Re: Europe vs. Clinton, Edwards and Obama (4.00 / 4)

It's much easier to get on the rec list here :-)

This piece was originally written with a European audience in mind, though I modified that slightly for Daily Kos. But it's still in the right place here.

Daily Kos reminds me why I got off Usenet, frankly. Big sea. A constant stream of diaries, most of them seem to be repeating campaign spin from one candidate or the other. With predictable comments. I imagine that it is especially crazy due to the election season.

Still, I appreciate that a number of people liked reading the piece.

In all fairness to dailyKOS (and I am not always fair) they are explicitly set up to get the Democratic Party elected - as opposed to journalistic or free speech considerations.

I know. For the record, this is just about the diaries section as it looks right now, not the front page, which I read every now and then and appreciate.

There have been 65 diaries after mine at the moment I'm writing this... after 3 and a half hours (I'm reminded, it's time to log off) I expected the orange place to be busy, but this busy...

It'll be worthwhile repeating some points when the nominee is clear and things have calmed down a bit.

Re: Europe vs. Clinton, Edwards and Obama (none / 0)

You should ask Jerome about posting tips.

Obama has captured the hopes of a huge number of people. Especially important in that is that he has captured the hopes and dreams of the black population who just may show up in record numbers to vote for him. I guess after 8 years of dear leader people are desperate, and hopeful. The pixels are working over time.

Tips are always welcome!

I did not go into this flying blind, though... I remember some comment here about when to post on Kos (aimed for 23:00 CET, overshot that a bit), but I can't seem to find that.

But I don't want to bitch too much. For a first diary, it did reasonably well. Next time I'm going to be a bit pithier, a bit more controversial in the intro.

Let's just say that the quality of the feedback here on eurotrib is, as usual, amazing.
