Suffice it to say I'm pretty damn busy in my new position cutting turf, calling volunteers, and getting the troops fired up.
However, I do want to maintain this blog throughout the next six weeks, or as long as it's feasible, so keep checking back for updates. I think I'll shift towards a Liberal Oasis style blog where I put up one post every morning.
One note: All that hype about Dean "bringing new people into the system" turns out to be shockingly true. To wit: I just spoke with a volunteer who drove in from Iowa to come and knock on doors in the outskirts of Madison. How'd she first get involved in politics? Howard Dean.
