From: jwarren () well com (Jim Warren) Tommorrow, Washington's politically-powerful National Journal reportedly will publish a know-nothing piece of "journalism" saying that net-aided politics is essentially nothing but a batch of ineffective, know-nothing nerds and back-water political hacks. Check it out on Friday or thereafter -- at www.politicsusa.com -- and forward your *informed* comments to the NJ's Editor and Letters Editor. --jim On the other hand, maybe we ought to just continue escalating our political effectiveness using the net, and let it come as a total shock to the Beltway insiders who trust this piece of misinformed blather ... when we provide more and more swing votes in contested elections -- as already occured with DeFoley8 against ex-Speaker Tom Foley, VTW for now-Senator Ron Wyden, me for now-available Calif legislative data, the gun BBS against ex-Calif Senate Prez Pro Tem David Roberti, etc. :-)
