Netroots, Grassroots, & the Rise of People-Powered Politics


Outside of Hawaii's issues that I focus on here, I also follow U.S. politics through several of my favorite progressive blogs, the one the I visit the most regularly being DailyKos. DailyKos founder Markos Moulitsas Zúniga and Jerome Armstrong, who blogs at MyDD, have authored a new book entitled Crashing the Gate: Netroots, Grassroots, and the Rise of People-Powered Politics about taking back and winning with the Democratic Party from the bottom up and using the Internet. I haven't read the book yet, but it seems to be getting great reviews (and Markos was quite good last night on The Colbert Report). Anyway, Bill McKibben has written a review in The New York Review of Books that is well worth reading, to get some insight into the role and influence of blogging in U.S. politics and media.
