HW 17B: DailKos on top

After reading Kline and Burstein’s interviews “Blogging the Presidency” and “Sex, Lies, and Political Scrapes” I can say that Markos Moulitsas Zuniga’s blog Dailykos would clearly influence more in the way I would vote in the upcoming election. This blog covers things people should truly care involving politics. Other the other hand Ana Marie Cox’s blog Wonkette does nothing for me, only providing gossip and rumors around Washington D.C. Both have made blogging a daily job, but Moulitsas is involved in the actual elections, as he took part in Howard Dean’s campaign in 2002. Another reason I support him is because he is a former GI and has the right credentials to speak for the Democratic Party. One of the biggest issues today is the war in Iraq and he can really speak for the troops due to the fact that he is a respected veteran. When it comes down to election time Dailykos will be the most informative and influential political blog out there.
