I'm going to be at the Personal Democracy Forum in New York City on June 23-24, along with Arianna Huffington, Josh Marshall, Ana Marie Cox, Jeff Jarvis, Jay Rosen, Elizabeth Edwards, Esther Dyson, Ben Smith and a host of others. I'll be talking with Patrick Ruffini about the changing role of the netroots and the rightroots.
It's a two day conference and Pach and DeVeria will be there with me so if you're around, it'll be a very interesting couple of days. The internet has revolutionized politics in a way that we're all still trying to get our heads around, and this will be a unique place to explore it. I'm particularly looking forward to the panel with Joe Rospars of the Obama campaign, Peter Daou of the Clinton Campaign, and Tracy Russo of the Edwards campaign talking about the widely different online strategies each campaign employed
As Josh Marshall said recently, "If you're going to pick one year to go to the annual Personal Democracy Forum conference this is the year to do it given just how much focus there is on the role the web is playing in this year's election."
The good folks at PdF have a special offer for FDLers: If you register now, you can still get the early bird rate, and they'll take $100 off for the first ten people who email conference@personaldemocracy.com and mention FDL in the email.
See you there.

Democracy!
Interesting. Be the Media, indeed.
Digg it!
((((( Jane )))))
Please give Elizabeth Edwards a big hug and kiss for me !
I would love to go, but as you know, I’m supplying an addicted nation. If the speculators got wind of me taking three days off, the price for a barrel of oil would shoot up an extra twenty dollars.
One segment on The Newshour tonight was on the internet role in the election. An interesting discussion…role not so much for McC.
Jane!!!
Sorry to go OT, but if you missed it, you just might have ’cause I know you’re busy, your readers were being fairly creative this afternoon on BT’s thread here:

Now that you shared that with us, how about working a little overtime? We would sure like to see the price of a barrel drop. Thanx in advance! You’re a mighty fine fellow, Oilfieldguy ;o)

Where’s Raven?
Thanks for the heads-up on Lehrer News Hour internet segment, on the left coast I can still catch that.
If Anna Marie Cox was participating I’d hide it, not list it as an asset.
Say hi to the world for me, please have a wonderful time.
Greetings, OFG
How is Andrew Rice doing?
(bows) Konnichiwa, selise
How are the babies?
Jane - I’ll be getting my dose of Democracy at eCAHN’s house on Sunday — any way we can induce you to come up just a teeny bit early to break enchiladas with us? It’s only just a wee bit Upstate..Hmmm, Hmmmm( putting on my best case of what my son refers to as ‘puppy eyes’)?
He’s been very quiet!
(bows) Konnichiwa, SouthernDragon
the babies are fine. much happier now that it isn’t so hot.
Did they visit the vet today?
no.
?
hope all is well you and yours.
i’m trying to finish up the committee hearing list for the week, and i keep getting distracted… now it’s that i want to hear gore’s endorsement of obama. thought i’d hang out at fdl while listening.
almost 9000 people watching the webstream.
Wouldn’t it be so cool if Gore will be the running mate? And he requested Pally Solis Doyle? And they kept it truly secret like Edwards appearance was?
I doubt it, but it would be fun!
It would. I think it could be Edwards though…which would be great.
The Gore endorsement is also going to be covered live on KO.
BIG admirer of al gore here (not the pre-2000 version though).
I’m switching back and forth as well. Love dem tabs. Little later I’ll put up a wedding pic. Damn, keep losing audio on the obama link.
They’re late.
I guess KO will go into Abram’s time.
evening firedogs -
can’t get the livestream to work - yes, I refreshed the browser
harrumph!
Nope.
Granholm just took her shoe off.
Dan Abrams is picking up the torch from KO…
Not the best livestream tonight. Just keep trying. I have to keep refreshing for audio.
the webstream is seriously fucked up :(
i keep loosing the audio also. i wish they would just put up a reliable audio stream instead. then people on dial up could listen too.
… oh pics!! iirc, there was a tux?
Here they come, up to the stage.
Who is the woman who introduced Obama and Gore?
gore’s up.
Gov. Granholm (spelling?) of Michigan.
but of course
Of course, it would be nice if they would STFU and let us listen to Gore… Ah, better…
gore: yes we can!
note on the webstream: click on menu and increase the buffer to max, that seems to have helped A LOT
Thanks
Even our dogs and cats have learned that elections matter!
Even our cats and dogs know that elections matter!
Gore: “Even our dogs and cats know that elections matter.”
Ha!
wow, I guess that line reverberated,,,
DA ROOF, DA ROOF, DA ROOF is on FIRE with GORE!
GO baby, GO!
gore: the republicans seem to think age and experience are what is needed. our shared experience as a nation tells us otherwise.
quoting jfk about age of various important people in our nations history.
gore: take it from me - elections matter.
if you think the next appointments to the supreme court are important, you know that elections matter
if you live in new orleans, you know that elections matter
if you are a wounded vet, you know that elections matter
if you’ve lost your job, or are worried about your mortgage, you know that elections matter
if ?
if you care about food safety, you know that elections matter
…
the audience: we need change!
the future is ours, not to predict - but to create
am i the only one listening to gore?
President Gore’s speech is grrrreat!!!
no -he is masterful tonight. i was up on the next thread.
Yes! Best I’ve ever heard from Gore.
I think we’re all awe struck.
He’s giving a mighty fine speech.
No
i thought gore was good - appropriate to the event.
but not even close to his best. imo.
(here are some of my favorites:
http://www.netrootsmass.net/Al_Gore/Al_Gore.html
I agree.
Gore - Dept of Energy?
nah - too small and too much a part of the MIC (nukes, i think are in the DOE).
i’ve move to the next thread…..
