We’re not one to toot our own horn, but we firmly believe in our progressive values and want others to hear about them. If some good feedback gives us more credibility in others’ eyes, then, for the movement, here’s some words from folks that like what we’re up to:
From Rochester’s City Paper, “Best of 2006, Critics’ Choice” (11/8/06):
Best local political blog
Rochesterturning.com
This year’s elections, particularly the congressional midterms, have launched the most impressive crop of political bloggers we’ve yet seen in the Rochester area. But there’s one that stands out above the rest: Rochesterturning.com is a progressive blog that’s group-written, which may explain why it’s the most frequently updated blog around. And not only do the bloggers keep their content fresh, they often scoop the big mainstream media outlets. It’s a sign of their presence in the local races that the bloggers’ e-mails show up on official media blast lists of some of the campaigns from time to time. Plus, they do it all with a clean, eye-catching design.
So if you’re listening Rochesterturning, we like you. Even when you think we’re “losers” and our analysis is “idiotic.” (KrestiaDeGeorge)
Yikes! They must’ve not seen our posts on City Paper articles we liked.
From MyDD.com (one of the premier national progressive political blogs, 10/17/06):
Some of Massa’s biggest supporters are the guys who write at the best area blog, Rochester Turning. The night before, Mark and I spent some time hanging out with them at Monty’s Korner, which is also where the Rochester Drinking Liberally is held every Thursday at 8:30. These are smart guys. They have already managed to change local TV coverage, founded a popular Drinking Liberally, make excellent use of online video, and make strong connections to local Democratic campaigns and progressive organizations. It is all very impressive stuff for a blog that is only a few months old. It has all the makings of becoming a powerhouse regional blog, and serving as a hub for local netroots activity. And so the progressive movement continues to grow in another region of the country.
From lipris, co-founder of The Albany Project, New York’s statewide progressive blog:
rochester turning just might be the best blog in new york. it’s one of my first stops every damn day. you kids rock.
