Launching The Purple Revolution
NP: Garbage, Garbage
And no, this has nothing to do with Purple Rain, although it was showing at the bar I visited last night.
I'm intrigued by this effort, although I don't really have a firm grasp of what they're up to. My position is that any effort to address the problems of the current two-party stranglehold is worth investigating further. For now, I'll probably add the blog to my subscriptions and see what they talk about.
On a basic level, this could provide a ready apparatus for also-rans in the primaries from each side, which would be interesting enough in its own right given my gut feeling that somebody like Rudy Giuliani would have a tough time getting the GOP nod. On the other hand, I'm wary of efforts so squarely focused on "netroots," as online communities have a long history of not dealing well with real-world action.
