| MoveOn has already revolutionized Democratic politics, energizing the party faithful in ways Karl Rove would envy.
Why does MoveOn get all the attention? Because reporters are all a bunch of liberals. They have no clue what the Republicans are doing; they never talk to any. So it's MoveOn-this and MoveOn-that, with nary a word about the fact that MoveOn got its butt kicked in the election by a better-organized army of Internet activists on the right. |
Karl Rove doesn't have to envy it. He's got an even better one. Yep, Democratic turnout in the election was at an all-time high, and MoveOn had a big part to play in that. But Republican turnout was even higher, and that happened because Ken Mehlman built a nationwide army of volunteers, all organized on the Internet, that beat the MoveOn army at the ground game.
