Although the article is not on-line: when I bought my copy of the Valley News this morning, I saw the word "Netroots" on a front-page article headline. Sure enough, Blue Hampshire was mentioned - which figures, since it was written by John Gregg (the paper's political reporter). On the link above, only this snippet was on-line:
NEWS: Netroots Grow in Twin States
West Lebanon -- At 6:36 a.m. on April 24, the day after New Hampshire's Senate Judiciary Committee narrowly voted to recommend killing a gay marriage bill, the small but influential www.Bluehampshire.com Web site posted a call to arms.
And after citing the words that urged us to contact our legislators respectfully, Gregg began his next paragraph with:
And our very-own Dean Barker was an important part of the story - though far from the only focus: located as it is in the Connecticut River Valley, the newspaper had stories of how the regional netroots help influence bills in the Vermont Legislature as well.
Jim Splaine is also quoted as to how he used Blue Hampshire to communicate, as Democratic political activists and legislators read the blog ......
"to see what the tone and intensity of issues are" and also "as you watch the thread, as you watch an issue being discussed, it's fascinating seeing the minds being changed".
The article notes the beginning of RedHampshire, whose founder cited how important new media and the netroots are in a grassroots state like New Hampshire.
Cheers to us all, and especially to Dean: although you were referred to as "soft-spoken" (what, not "mild-mannered?") your printed words here are not exactly soft.
