My suggestion (none / 0)

Perhaps you guys, along with kos, atrios, and any other popular left-wing blog owners who want to participate, should consider creating a coordinated and centralized weblog to push left-wing stories and talking points? You could even make it a members only setup where invitations are sent out to trusted left-wing bloggers to view the content to push, but not participate in the creation of it. It would be like a private wire for the left. Or perhaps a left-wing hotline for top stories of the day.

This is an interesting topic and I think you're on to something important here. My view is that the biggest problem for the left isn't it's lack of talking points, but rather it's lack of organized mediums to push it's information. The talking points need a lot of work also, but the lack of good mediums is the bigger issue. I don't consider it a coincidence that the media picked up the right's version of the CBS memo's so quickly as it did.

Btw, another reason for the members only setup is to make the intended audience feel special and part of the system. If they feel included then they're more likely to help out by making an effort to push the stories offered.
