The Florida Progressive Coalition: An Appreciation

by Benjamin J. Kirby

Just a short post, but I couldn't let the evening pass without noting that Kenneth has evidently decided to no longer run the Florida Progressive Coalition and the blog which went along with it.

I contributed fairly irregularly to the FPC.  I am proud that two of my posts -- one from 2008 and one from 2009 -- are still two of the five most viewed FPC posts.

I thought the FPC blog served a great function, and I'm sorry to see that it will likely fade away after the 2012 Netroots Awards (which will likely fade away as well; at this point, I hope I don't win one, to maintain the purity of my winless streak).  

I doubt he'll get the recognition he deserves, but someone more important than me should thank Kenneth Quinnell for creating and running the whole thing.  It was a full-time job with no recognition and pretty much no pay.  For whatever it's worth to you, thanks, Kenneth.

I'm not more important than you, but I did write a post about the beginnings of FPC and Kenneth's huge part in herding the cats so well and for so long.
