“The fact is that there's hundreds of thousands of incredibly motivated, active political partisans working on the blogs. These people generate buzz, it generates local activism. These aren't the kind of people that pay attention a little to politics, turn it off and then do something else. They live and breathe politics. And anybody that wants to build a movement or a successful campaign needs people like the people who read blogs.” PeopleKindPoliticalAttentionSuccessfulBreatheActivismPay AttentionMotivated Author:Markos Moulitsas
“One of my rules is I generally don't talk to elected officials. It's kind of a firewall. I'll talk to staff if they have something of interest. I try to avoid talking to politicians altogether. I mean, to be honest, I don't really find them that interesting. If I want juicy information I talk to staff of the politicians.” TryingKindMeanInterestInterestingHonestPoliticianBeing Honest Author:Markos Moulitsas
