Who is who


Today I want to dedicate this post to the bloggers who write for Daily Kos. One of the main reasons why I chose this blog was the fact that it is not run by a single person. When Markos Moulitsas ZĂșniga (> picture on the left hand side) founded Daily Kos in May 26, 2002 many authors joined him. I think, the fact that these authors embody very different professional backgrounds (e.g. actor, playwright, attorney, doctor, housewife, ...) and come from different areas in the US (e.g. California, Ohia, Washington, New Mexico, ...) enriches the blog. It makes the blog more authentic, reliable and well-balanced. I really like the possibility to choose among a great variety of standpoints.
But although there are so many differences, most of Daily Kos' bloggers have one standpoint in common that keeps them together - they favor Obama. Every day Daily Kos publishes the "State of the nation poll" which illustrates Obama's popularity. Today the poll says that 54 % of the participators favor Obama. Let's wait and see how it will be tommorrow...
