Kos to provide actual reportage of Iowa caucuses
Here:
This is (potentially) huge.
Up to know, the blogosphere been very "meta"—we've been dependent (some would say parasitic) on the SCLM for stories to which we then react.
But to cut the ground from under the SCLM, and act, instead of react, we have to do our own reporting and generate our own stories; absent funding, of course that's hard, though Kos seems to have found a way to do it.
Tiny, smart, fast-moving mammals against huge, stupid, and slow-moving dinosaurs .... I like our chances.
And I plan to have several people on the ground providing real-time blogging of the caucuses. Should be really freakin' fun.
