Now this is cool — my good friend Greg Siskind was the guest editorial writer in yesterday’s USA Today. How’d they get Greg to write the editorial? On a tight deadline, they searched the web. Greg wrote something on this subject three years ago. They gave him 18 hours to write 350 words. Trivia buffs…

Mark Glaser took a critical look at the campaign weblog and comes away vaguely disappointed. He’s impressed at the community that has built up around the campaign blog, but is disappointed that Governor Dean isn’t taking advantage of the opportunity to post more often to his blog. Mark interviewed me on this subject, and includes…

You know you’re slacking when your Dad gives you shit about not posting to your blog in a week. (And he wasn’t the only one. I got an e-mail from a close friend asking me what major life-changing event was going on — surely something was up since I hadn’t posted to my blog?!) Hard…

There’s knowing who you are and there’s knowing who you are. As Governor Dean showed up at the rally tonight, the throng immediately surrounded him. The energy was palpable.

Photos are coming soon, but here’s a quick report: We had 150 people there (probably more) to show our support for Governor Dean.

By my count, Governor Dean’s $100,000 ad buy in Texas has now enjoyed its third nationwide run (on Sunday’s Meet the Press, Monday’s Larry King Live, Tuesday’s Today Show). Seems like money well spent, no?

Larry King: “Will you run to the center as the election gets closer?” Howard Dean: “Larry, I am in the center.” Dean is being interviewed by Larry King right now. Aaron Brown’s Newsnight at 10pm covers the “Dean Machine”. Do weeks start any better than this?!

This probably shouldn’t make me laugh, but it does: One of the comedies of the 2004 campaign is watching all the candidates other than Dean claim to be angry when they clearly aren’t. … If you got into a fender bender with Dean, and he got out of his car and started walking toward you,…

While the other candidates are defining themselves by their opponents within the party (“I’m more electable than Howard Dean” “I’m stronger on defense than Gephardt” “I can raise more money than Lieberman” “I’m the only Democrat who fought in Viet Nam”), Governor Dean has made clear that his opposition isn’t his fellow Democrats: it’s President…
