Happy Birthday Liberal Conspiracy
We are one years old today. Of course, this news is bigger than an Obama win so I’m not sure why the headlines of newspapers around the world are ignoring us. You can’t have everything eh?
It still feels amazing being here in Los Angeles and celebrating Barack Obama’s win. And yes, I was part of that because for the last three weeks we made calls to the states of Nevada (especially!), Colorado, New Mexico, Missouri, Pennsylvania, Ohio (which I though we wouldn’t win), Indiana and Montana. On election day, as poll results started coming in to the office we were still making last minute calls to Colorado and Alaska, even when Ohio was called for Obama and the race was effectively over. The dedication of the foot-soldiers was unyielding and complete. Victory, when it came, was sweet. Onwards and upwards, comrades!

Happy Birthday LC, and congrats to Sunny and the team of fantastic writers for not only interesting posts and debates, making it the number 3 political blog in the UK but also for the campaign work it’s undertaken!

It’s a great blog but I think you need more ‘green’ input.

Wow, I had no idea. It seems like only yesterday that we were sat around in the pub plotting and conspiring to get this thing off the ground……
Happy birthday LC! And well done everyone for helping make it what it is. (Lee – that’s a big left-leaning umbrella remember )
Heh, we’re in good company for the blog birthday:

A Year? Really? Congratulations.
Sunny has a unique knack of creating genuinely engaging space on t’internet thingy.
Pickled Politics was and is also a genuinely inspirational site.
As my friend Leon says:

I hope that LC goes from strength to strength.
Happy Birthday guys!
World domination by this time next year methinks.
It’s a great blog but I think you need more ‘green’ input.
Working on it.
Congratulations.
Must have been a great experience in the US over the past couple of weeks.
Hope you will write about how / whether the UK could ever generate that apparent level of “grassroots” activity.
Happy Birthday LC!!! Can we blow the candles out and cut the cake yet??
It’s been a joy to join you guys, many thanks.
Happy Birthday! And bloody well done
Yeah happy birthday. I disagree with 90% of the opinions on here but it’s always challenging, informative and enjoyable. Keep it up.
Wow! So much achieved in just a year!
Happy Birthday!
