Kos, over at the Daily Kos has continued his quest to blame all of the Democratic Party's problems on New Hampshire with two Hit Pieces on the NH Primary this week; here and here.
Kos is using rather intellectually dishonest arguments in is crusade against the New Hampshire primary. In doing so, he is convincing a rather wide group of Democratic Activists that the NH Primary has to go.
here's a choice quote:
New Hampshire is throwing one of its usual hissy fits over the possibility of Nevada having its caucuses before the NH primary, and looks to reset the calendar to leapfrog not just Nevada, but Iowa as well.
::snip::
That frackin' "tradition" is a naked power grab at the expense of the rest of the country. It's one whose days are numbered, no matter how hard NH and Iowa struggle to hang on. And the more unreasonable they are (like in this case), the quicker the day their monopoly ends.
I can't stand it. I think its time to have an intellectually fair discussion on the nomination calender on the Daily Kos. I have never gotten a diary on the Rec List, and I doubt my writing along would do it justice.
I am proposing that we, here at Blue Hampshire, come up with some of the most important things to consider when discussing the primary calender. One of us should write a diary about it on the DKos, and let the rest of us know when it will go up so we can go, join the comments, and rec it so that it gets attention.
If Kos won't host a fair discussion on the Primary Schedule, we should.
