Booman hits a tone of truthiness that won’t sit well with the blogosphere: James Kirchick likes to crow about how the Netroots don’t matter. There are a few former (Republican and Democrat) office holders that might beg to differ. But, Kirchick is right about one thing. If Obama listened to the Netroots’ advice all the […]
A grassroots group is trying to generate enough revenue to run a national ad asking to get redo the FISA bill and strip telecom immunity. The ad they want to run, as well as way’s to help is here. There is much more at Wired.

It’s also worth mentioning that Chris Dodd was the only presidential candidate […]
