Mark you were one of my favorite people on the campaign...but given your comments have you even read the book?
Verbatim Excerpt follows: "With in 48 hours he had created "Call to Action" the first-ever blog of any presidential campaign. I could see two things right away: (1) Mat knew what he was doing and (2) he must have been in a hurry to get back to Utah to pack. This was the ugliest, messiest, unfreindliest site you've ever seen. There wasn't even a place for readers to add their own comments. It was like and AMC Pacer compared with the sophisticated, interactive BMW blogs that we'd be driving in a couple of months.
And yet, even later, when we were in the process of designing its sequel, "Blog for America," we came to the shocking realization that we'd all grown strangely attached to it. It had been there from the beginning, loyal, and true, like that twenty-year-old gimpy, blind dog that you keep around even though you know the most humane thing would be to judt put it down. It took months for us to finally euthanize Call to Action." End of Verbatim Excerpt.
Where in that passage or in any other passage does Mat Gross get credit for Blog for America?
The key phrase "when we were in the process of designing its sequel, "Blog for America"" includes no names but the word we -- I am sorry if you did not see yourself in the word we with the rest of us.
cheers!
