Early this morning, at midnight, a group of ultra-liberal California Democrat operatives – Steve Maviglio, Jason Kinney, and Roger Salazar – launched a new blogsite that is supposed to be the .jpg)
left’s answer to… well, this website! They have amassed an impressive array of Donkey operatives (see the attachment) and should be producing quite a bit of content… You can be sure that we (that would be me and the FR blog team) will be keeping an eye on them! This site has been up for nearly a year now, and has been starving for some company. A clear contrast between the failed liberal policies of the Democrat Party and the solid, sound principles of conservatism will show that, by and large, Republicans are right and Democrats are wrong!
I have actually had a few chats over some months with the development team of their new site, the California Majority Report (CMR), in terms of giving them some logistical advice. I would have tried to offer some policy advice as well, but I think that would have fallen on deaf ears. Anyways, having struck up a friendship with these guys, we have agreed that from time to time we will try to do some coordination on themes and issues in order to provide the blogosphere with some point-counterpoint debates.
Yesterday afternoon I participated in a press conference with the CMR Publishers listed above, where besides talking about their new site and this one that is a little more seasoned, we talked about the importance of engaging people using technology, and how we will be in a ‘strategic relationship’ with one another. A little later on, there was a Launch Party with special guests Speaker Fabian Nunez, Senate President Pro-Tem Don Perata and… recalled Governor Gray Davis. Davis told the crowd of a couple-hundred Democrat operatives that this new site would be, "the best thing to come along since the FlashReport."

First of all, there are other liberal Websites, but I’m sure the Majority Report is just trying to find a balance from all the “truthiness” found here!
By the way, the name of their site is certainly accurate. As California is a blue state, liberals are the majority–no matter how many articles conservatives like to write suggesting otherwise. ;-)

Jon, you should take it as quite a compliment that it takes SO many of them to compete with you!
Jo Ann, You may not want facts to get in the way of your feelings, but if you check the Field Poll or any other statewide major poll you will see that there are far more conservatives than there are liberals in our fair state!

John, my point was that California is a “blue state”.
Yet another conservative dealing in “truthiness”…
