New Guest Poster on Redstate.

And I've been assured by three different people that it really is him. Trust me, it'll be a pleasant surprise if you don't know who already.

cool!

Wow. Okay, my level of respect for Redstate just leaped enormously. As radically detatched from the mainstream as I find many of their posters to be, I can't imagine an Ed Gillespie post turning up on, say, Daily Kos. Nice work.

[Tacitus]

Yes, it's really him.

Good work moe. Now if you could take a lesson from Kos and clean up the atrocious color scheme, I'd actually be able to read redstate without getting a vision headache. (I might still get a political headache, but I can live with that.)

There's just too much primary color flashing around. (Yes, I know, good red, white and blue.) It comes off looking like my old pair of golf pants.

Cool.

Now if you could just get rid of all of the posters and commenters and replace them with Democrats, it would be an awesome site.

I would like to note for the record that I cannot take credit for snagging the guest blogger in question: I am merely being a good Redstate worker bee* and contributing to the buzz. :)

*Yes, it is an odd mental image.

Actually Moe, in line with what mac says - see if you can use your influence to better the site design of redstate.

I believe the colors have gotten a little less stark recently, which is good, but the layout is simply too crowded. Too many postings, too close together. It's hard to actually get a feel for any particular story. It's surprising too, as Tacitus understands this for his own site...

[Factory]

Hmm bit sad that redstate doesn't get a huge amount of readership (at least going by the number of comments), they prolly started too late in the election?

[praktike]

JC -- shhh!

Redstate is, in football parlance, a tweener. Too far to the right for those interested in moderate political conversation and too far to the left for the Freeper/LGF crowd.

Major kudos to McAuliffe for doing this, and to the person whose idea it was. Everyone comes out of it enormously well - McAuliffe and RedState.

Goes some way towards showing people that The Other Side™ is not Always Evil and might actually have, Shock! Horror! sensible people in.

Ha, that's great. Now I'm going to have to up the stakes and, say, photoblog my upcoming duel with Zell Miller.

Ok, not so much duel as pillow fight, but they just don't make 'em like they used to.
