Reply #75: DU is a lesser forum without Jiacinto [View All]

[Awsi Dooger]

He knows his stuff, particularly regarding Maryland politics and obscure races and demographic trends around the country. He would start high caliber threads, often analyzing races from a different angle than I was using, and it was very helpful. I hate to see his reputation trashed around here, focusing solely at the end.

At that point no question he was having personal troubles and that spilled over to his DU posts, but the guy had 25,000+ posts and most of them quality. No question he would go on tilt occasionally, like the Nader threads.

I rarely visit Daily Kos but I've seen Jiacinto there. Same basics, known as one of their more conservative members.
