I've been viewing this blog for more than a year now, and I just wanted to say that I too clearly want to see Barack Obama as our next president; but you may be polarizing your website too far to the left.
It's probably the fact that everyone's finally looking at a winner. After the past 8 years, emotions are running a bit high.
Hang around until after the new president's "honeymoon" is over.
Is liberal still a naughty word?
I used to think it was, but not so much anymore!
TPM has always been left-leaning.
Hell, the DOJ attorney firings were what put TPM on the map (kudos to Josh for that, no one else at the time would follow the story). The reporting then was very technical, and sometimes cut and dry, but it was always presented with a narrative that stated, "the GOP is a bunch of crooks and cronies."
I'm not saying that's a bad thing. The GOP of late is so corrupt that not pointing it out would be a sign of bias. Saying that there's a left-leaning bias here is sort of like saying that Josh has a reality-based bias, at least given the current political realities.
Hi Ella,
