DailyKos Founder Markos Moulitas Zuniga Event


One Utah's Cliff Lyon has a post titled, DailyKos Founder Markos Comes to Utah?. The event was held at the Fiddler's Elbow's back porch. I enjoyed the time spent with fellow bloggers, Ethan Millard (SLCSPIN), and "The Man", Bob Aagard (The World, According To Me), as well as Cliff. I also enjoyed spending time with Sheryl Ginsberg, Jan Lovett, House Seat 25 candidate Chris Johnson, Lawrence Buehler, and Pete Ashdown's campaign manager, Brett Garner. I also met Greg Falice who is the guy responsible for ThankYouHarryTaylor.org.

Markos Moulitas Zuniga's oratory was well delivered and lively. He had some great points on party building, and I loved how he disassembled the "liberal press" myth. I also agree that candidates should not fear displaying the donkey on their campaign material. People respect those who are true to themselves.

There is one statement in Cliff's post that I need to take issue with. Markos may have inspired many of us, but he is not my leader. For me, that honor belongs to God, Mom, Clint Eastwood, Batman, and our family cat, Cowboy. Sorry Cliff, I hope you will forgive me.

Sorry, I wrote Jerome instead of Markos. Maybe I should not blog when suffering from insomnia, and fever.

You mean I'm not your leader? :)

Has anybody noticed that our Utah boys are much bigger than Markos?

Is it the water, or the ribeye?
