I <3 Politics

I'm just going to throw it out there--the political blog I most frequently look at is wonkette. it's just so friggin' funny. But for the purposes of this blog, I chose to engage with a political blog that was a bit more scholarly and serious. That's right, I'm talking about the Daily Kos.

When I googled "Daily Kos", the blurb that came up about the website said, "Daily weblog with political analysis on US current events from a liberal perspective." So, in case there was any doubt, this website is left of center. And, indeed, it seems to favor Obama heavily.

Lots of people keep diaries on the Daily Kos website, but the people who contribute to the main blog (the one you see when you first go to the website) are basically a group of people who are unhappy with the current administration and are looking for a more liberal solution.

The blog discusses politics. The posts I looked at seem focused a lot on polls and demographics (which makes sense because today is the much-anticipated Pennsylvania primary).

The people who comment on the blogs seem to be pretty liberal as well. In fact, the comments I read were extremely liberal and unabashedly elitist.

I liked the blog. It had a witty, fun-to-read style and raised intelligent points. I also liked that it steered clear of wonkette-ish dribble (like OMG! Obama to Die of Syphillis). So that's refreshing.
