Daily Kos toots its own horn -

“Even CNN says we're awesome”

"This is what CNN said in their post-mortem on filibuster reform:

What was known as the nuclear option yesterday is known as the Reid Rule today. Time will only tell* if the Reid Rule is productive or destructive. But we'll leave that to the historians.

As for how it became the Reid rule, it took a coordinated and sustained effort from an unlikely place—progressive activists on the blogosphere.

Daily Kos was the first group to start organizing for filibuster reform, way back in 2010. People called us crazy when we did.

Well, three years and an astonishing 900,000 actions later, we made filibuster reform the mainstream Democratic policy position—and we won a vote on it on the floor of the United States Senate."
