How have blogs changed the political conversation? What impact do they have? What role did they play in the 2006 gubernatorial election in Massachusetts, the Presidential campaign, and the recent special election for Senator?
Join us 7:30-8:30 PM on Thursday, January 28 at the historic Lexington Depot (13 Depot Square in Lexington Center with plenty of parking behind the Depot) or join us online. We'll try some live, real-time blogging so send us your questions or comments in the form of comments to this post if you can’t be on site for the conversation.
Check out more about the OPEN HOUSE series on my website, jaykaufman.com, and plan to join us not just this month, but every month. Next month will feature a conversation with House Speaker Robert DeLeo.
…just to hear Rep. Kaufman talk about the two-party system – Liberal and Progressive.
Prof Panarin’s seven regions. It is supposed to be this year.
Charlie here from Rep. Kaufman’s staff in the Depot in Lexington on a snowy night. If you have any questions/comments, chime in and I’ll pass them along to the Rep and he’ll read them during the event. The forum will be broadcast on Lexington, Arlington, and Woburn as well as on the web. Call our office at 617-722-2320 for details.
are talking about how they started out and their breakout moments — BMG with the Governor’s race and RMG with last week’s Senate race
about nonbiased blogs. second one about cass sunstein’s recent book on people coming together in the public sphere. BTW, BMG + RMG editors seem to genuinely like each other. Nice to see, unless you wanted to see a pie fight!
hour is flying by. discussing the difference between national and local blogs, last week’s special election and blogs impact on political races in general
question about the influence of blogs and if it’s a good thing or not
I was glad I braved the cold and went. I found it very interesting to meet Rob Eno and Garrett Quinn in person.

p>Maybe it is time for another face-to-face event for the BMG community.
