KosKiddie "Stranded Wind"...We’re here at the Pennsylvania Progressive Summit, with @Spedwybabs and I coming in from Illinois, and @drdigipol coming from D.C. The three of us were sitting around the table at lunch Saturday talking about Comcast firing Olbermann, and I don’t even know who said “Maybe we should draft him for a Senate race”, but ninety minutes later the Draft Keith Olbermann page was up, the @DraftOlbermann Twitter account was rolling, and the Draft Keith Olbermann DailyKos account was registered.
Coming soon: mugs, t-shirts, bumper stickers, buttons, postcards, murals, samplers, stained-glass windows, coloring books, tattoos, ...
Tomorrow the Olbermann 2010 web site will go live, pointing at the Facebook page.
Holy &#$%@, he's running in last year's election! That can only mean that Keith Olbermann has invented a practical working method of time travel! Talk about yer "burying the lead!"
WeÂ’re using our full set of campaign tools but they wonÂ’t go active until we get a little downtime while weÂ’re in D.C. IÂ’ve invited the wardogs to come out and play and a couple of them have already expressed interest. The effort has, after eight hours, 227 Facebook fans and 120 Twitter followers.
(or, roughly, about a third of his loyal viewership at PMS-NBC)
My favorite joke just after he was canned was about how his viewer was so upset...
IÂ’ve got messages back from folks with Facebook groups that have five digit subscriber counts indicating that theyÂ’ll help. This effort will get its legs under it very shortly....
