The Daily Kos is a left-wing blog that features advertisements like "DraftGore.Com ... Sign Our Petition" with a picture of a smiling Al Gore in front of what appears to be an image of the Earth from outer space.[1] It also features a picture of President George W. Bush with a large cartoon cowboy hat.
Entries on this blog on February 25, 2007 range from gossip (such as teaser about eviscerating coverage of Mitt Romney's polygamist ancestors) to subjective vulgarity.
CBS News has recently suggested that supposedly liberal blogs (not necessarily the Daily Kos) may be hurting their favored candidates, as they may provide some political "dirt" for the other side:[2]
- [A] former aide to Joe Lieberman advised the party to refuse bloggers access and "deny them jobs that confer party approval." ... [P]lenty of Democrats were upset with the netroots.
This statement on behalf of Lieberman was, of course, ironic, considering he no longer identifies with the Democratic party himself, and ran in the general election on a separate party line named "Connecticut for Lieberman," having been denied the Democratic party's nomination.
Bill O'Reilly has recently leading a campaign against the Daily Kos, and claimed that despite the fact that some Americans may disagree with its views, most of the Democratic candidates for president were at its yearly convention, the Yearly Kos, including Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton and John Edwards
