John Kerry Now Likes the Daily Kos

The Boston Globe reports:

In an effort to reach grass-roots liberal activists, Senator John F. Kerry has begun posting entries to a blog that his presidential campaign disavowed in 2004.

Kerry has posted three entries in the past two weeks to DailyKos.com, a popular website known for freewheeling political discussions and left-wing bent.

The Massachusetts Democrat distanced himself from the site, which was linked to his campaign website, in 2004 after what his campaign termed an unacceptable comment by the site's author about the slayings of four US contractors in the Iraqi city of Fallujah. The bodies of two of the contractors had been hung from an iron bridge over the Euphrates River.

The site's author, Markos Moulitsas, called the contractors ''mercenaries," and added, ''They are there to wage war for profit" and then dismissed them with a profanity.

Kerry's staff declined to comment on why the senator now feels comfortable writing on the blog.

Now John Kerry appreciates Kos' large audience in the Democratic party.It's too bad that John Kerry hasn't heard that a Democratic candidate from the Northeast part of the United States hasn't won a Presidential election since 1960.
