Daily Kos election roundup includes NC 08 and NC 11
I just stumbled on this roundup over at Daily Kos and was delighted to see that my diary on raising money through ActBlue for Heath Shuler and Christopher Walker's excellent diary on Larry Kissell were included in the roundup of state race pieces posted.
Please visit the Kos diary roundup and see how other states are being represented. The diarist will apparently be doing these roundups through the election. Then write a diary! The more attention we can bring to our state races through non traditional media, the more traditional media will pay attention. The netroots are driving the bus right now, let's open the windows and shine as much light as possible on North Carolina.
As Kos posted yesterday about John Edwards, HE gets it.
During Edwards' campaign stop in Connecticut with Lamont, he blew off the traditional media (including the once all-important editorial boards). But he didn't blow off the bloggers.
Real Key
The real key is the people who have donated because of stuff like this. Or like the guy from California was it who said that he had adopted Larry as his representative.
Lyndon Helton for NC Senate
"Keep the Faith"
Absolutely
Like my little notice generator said: The Time is Now / Spread the Word / Raise the Money.
They've asked that you put
NC-08 or the CD in the title and then tag it US-06 to make it easier to search.
This is exactly why I threw a copy of my Robin Hayes diary up from a couple of Saturdays ago...I figure folks might not see it today, but it would be part of the tagged record of diaries. Great idea.

There are several other NC bloggers works included in some of those as well.
North Carolinia bloggers are representin' for our Democrats at DKos!
Agree, John Edwards "gets it"
Ctblogger did a fab job vlogging the blogger conference that Senator Edwards did at the Lamont event.The Lamont campaign posted ctblogger's video on their official blog.
Senator Edwards has said that citizen journalism helps to "democratize the media" and he's doing his part to help make that happen. I recently vlogged (my first vlog, btw) the Edwards/Shuler event. http://www.dailykos.com/storyonly/2006/8/24/84530/8735
Senator Edwards made a point to speak to me on video and I was invited to the MSM press conference although I just videoed that and didn't ask any questions. (Hey..it was my first vlog). lol.
Thanks to all BlueNCers who recommended and posted on the DKos Edwards-Shuler vlog diary!
Great diary Amy
Sorry I missed that so I could have thrown you some Mo. Someday, the remote coves of McDowell county will have broadband too and I can join the fun! Ok, maybe not.
Real cool.
I didn't realize how much money ActBlue raised in a week there. I mean that is fracking superb. I think it shows people, not just progressives, excitement of turning the country around and in the right direction this fall.
People are really getting it too. This is the time to fight back and do what's right.
Our children need to know that some people fought back, when others collaborated.
