Glenn Reynolds commenting on the closed versus open split in the Clark campaign:

As I said at BloggerCon, on the Internet you get power by giving up
control. The Dean people seem to get this. Clark’s people, so far,

as consumers.”

I note that the book is available from e-books, but for the very high price of $127.45
Hey April, any way we can get some copies or excerpts at a little more reasonable price?
