| Last week I was contacted by John DeSio who wanted to write a column for New York PRESS on the Netroots in New York.
He asked me some questions and the result is:
Old vs. New Politics
It took a few years for the national party apparatus on both the left and the right to take the "netroots" seriously. Now they have become their own electoral machine. What used to be dismissed as a nuisance has become a serious threat to the power of the satiated incumbency. That movement has now landed in New York. Will Silver and his ilk take it seriously? Maybe not now, said Keeler, but their eventual wake-up call might be too late. "I think that is changing," said Keeler of the "netroots" perception in New York, "and those who don't will find themselves regretting it, I'm sure."
Albany, you've been warned.
BTW, hat tip to Blue Tiger Group for all the support they are providing for TAP. Many thanks. |
