If the Democrats win Huge in this November's elections, and after that go on to elect a popular Democratic President by a large majority in '08, will readership of Daily Kos and other 'left' political blogs go down?
I think the answer depends upon why the people who visit this blog came here in the first place.
For me it had to do with using Google to find information about how I could go about Impeaching George W. Bush.
In other words, I actually felt I needed to do something, myself, to legally remove the President from office.
So despite the fact that this web site has
GREAT BREAKING NEWS and
AWESOME NEWS ANALYSIS and
MIND EXPANDING SCIENCE ESSAYS and
A CHANCE TO PARTICIPATE IN A DISCUSSION, the real reason is this. (more below)
HOPE!
I hope I can return to the middle class.
I hope I can wake up without having to daily refute the coffee shop talk supporting killing people.
I hope I can remain out of debt despite CRUSHING cost of living increases.
I HOPE we WIN and REAL CHANGE occurs.
If that happens, perhaps I won't need to look for hope.
