First Post-Election Chatham County Obama ‘Change Is Coming’ House Party Held
At my home in North Chatham County, NC, I hosted one of the 10,000 Obama house parties held across the country in mid-December.

There was a lot of energy in the room -- people seem eager to bring change not only on the national...

The Huffington Post, which had 4.5 million unique visitors in September, just landed $25 million of new funding. It plans focused acquisitions, and currently has a valuation of $100 million. TPM Media, founded by Talking Points Memo blogger Josh Marshall, which has about a dozen employees, is hoping to expand in 2009 through micro-targeted advertising.And despite the decline of traditional...
