David Sirota's online magazine of news & commentary
(Reader comments now accepted at Working Assets)
As I have argued, sometimes primaries aren't the best things because they can weaken candidates for the general election. That said, when primaries do happen, progressives should utilize them as an opportunity to reward our champions, and reject those who are willing to lie about concrete facts for their own personal ambition. I've written a piece on exactly this - check it out.
I am the co-chairperson of the Progressive Legislative Action Network (PLAN) - a position I took after finishing a stint as a fellow at the Center for American Progress. I am also a Senior Editor at the In These Times magazine, and a writer for Working Assets, and a twice-a-week guest on the Al Franken Show. I have just completed a book for Random House's Crown Publishers entitled "Hostile Takeover" - it will be released Spring 2006. I also write a bi-weekly section for the Nation Magazine called Permanent Minority vs. Towards the Majority about Democrats failures and successes. For more on what I do, see this Washington Post story about my blog, this Molly Ivins column about my work, or this Newsweek profile about me.
