I actually began reading the Daily Kos last semester while in Professor Snyder's Intro to Media Studies class. We were each required to follow a political blog for the course of the semester to keep up with the goings on of the world. The Daily Kos is "the largest progressive community blog in the United States." It was founded in 2002 and is still published by Markos Moulitsas Zuniga, a veteran "offended that the freedoms he pledged his life for were so carelessly being tossed aside by the reckless and destructive Republican administration." The Daily Kos features blogging from upwards of tewnty different contributing writers, and is thoroughly liberal (obviously).
The maority of recent posts on the site pertain to the presidential race. For example, one of today's post is titled, "Obama the New Jersey Favorite", and many of the posted comments seem to be by loyal, liberal readers. Most of these posts focus on the democratic presidential candidates. Markos Zuniga, the site's founder, was also mentioned extensively in The Argument.
