My post yesterday regarding Dave Winer and outlining was poorly constructed. Dave didn’t seem to accept it as appropriate suck-uppage. Here then is an attempt to do better… I’m new at this. I don’t have a history of sucking up to anybody, so I hope you’ll pardon the rough edges while I learn the genre:
Dave is willing to share his opinions. That’s a strength for anybody. Today, vis a vis the Dean campaign he avers that the Dean effort carved out a new “25% party.” I hope this is just a slice of what is at work in the Dean campaign, just as I hope that the Democrats on-board outnumber the loosely bonded. I don’t think that the Dean campaign will take their voters and go home if HD doesn’t win the nomination. At least I hope they won’t.
And something that Dave also said seemed so compelling that I think it is worth linking and quoting. Dave says, “What about the rest of us? Find a local candidate who wants to win using the Internet, and as Picard said, make it so.” I think this is profound advice… acting locally, using the new communication tools, sliding further away from the influence of “broadcast messages” to the engagement of interpersonal communication. This is what it’s all about. Thanks Dave!
