I’ve been reading “Crashing the Gate: Netroots, Grassroots, and the Rise of People-Powered Politics.” The fascinating new book by Jerome Armstrong and Markos Moulitsas Zuniga. A powerful account of online communities — how we got where we are now and where we’re headed. Valuable for both parties — and for political and media junkies alike.
When you have a chance, flip to the acknowledgements section, where the authors salute “the wisdom of some of the most incredible, passionate, and intelligent people in the world of American politics.”
If you like insidery names, you’ll love page 180 where they thank from the DC area Simon Rosenberg, Richard Yeselson, Sen. Russ Feingold, and, quoting directly from the book: “Dan Lucas, Ralph Neas, Mark Schmitt, Mike McCurry, Rob Stein, Joe Trippi, Mame Reiley, Amy Sullivan, Walter Ludwig, John Judis, Ruy Teixeria, Mike and Sally Ford, David Brock, Peter Murray, Todd Webster, Paul Blank, Michael Bassik, Matt Bai, Murshed Zaheed, Susan Turnbell, Jennie Blackton, Tony Raymond, Mark Halprin, and Governor Mark Warner.”
