Kos talks to McAuliffe about Dems and blogs

Kos, of Daily Kos is largely responsible for the ePatriots program that the Democrats have put together to help with fund-raising. As a result, he recently had a chance to speak with Terry McAuliffe, the head of the DNC, about the upcoming campaign and how the blogisphere can be involved in helping with the 2004 election.

Kos, himself, offers a couple suggestions, and then opened the comment thread for others to leave their own suggestions, as he's promised McAuliffe that he'll be putting together a memo about it. If you have a minute, pop over to Daily Kos and read through the notes he made on his conversation, read the suggestions from other bloggers, and leave any comments you may have as well.

For a long time, many of us who blog have felt like there's not a whole lot any of us can do to make a real difference - and I know I'm not the only person who started blogging with the hope that maybe this would be a way we could start to have some sort of an impact. Blogs are becoming more powerful tools, now, when it comes to politics in general, and it's great that the DNC has recognized that and is willing to find ways to make use of blogs to promote their goals.
