Senator Harry Reid to Speak at DailyKos Convention I am pleased to announce the first-released name of a featured speaker at the YearlyKos liberal community convention......Senate Democratic Leader Harry Reid (D-NV).
If you're unfamiliar with Senator Reid's strong leadership and record, be sure to read about him at my article, Five Liberals Who Made a Difference in 2005, and at Profile of Senate Democratic Leader Harry Reid of Nevada.
The first annual YearlyKos convention is scheduled for June 8-11, 2006 in Las Vegas. The convention is designed to bring together the liberal community which has grown around the influential DailyKos blog, which has over 350,000 members and receives more than 4 million unique reader visits each week.
Senator Reid is a DailyKos member, and has posted a few blog entries there. Other prominent political members of DailyKos include Senator Barack Obama (D-IL), Senator Russ Feingold (D-WI), Senator Barbara Boxer (D-CA), Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-CA), Senator Ted Kennedy (D-MA), Rep. Louise Slaughter (D-NY) and Rep. John Conyers (D-MI).
Whoohoo! With Kos' record for backing candidates, I guess we can look forward to at least 6 more Senate seats, and two in the house for Repubs... :)
Don't know much about Harry Reid, but isn't he considered a moderate? Pro-life, pro-business, from a Conservative state. I know he is a point-man is stated opposition to the policies of George Bush, but "liberal"? Enlighten me, please.
