When Your Future’s at Stake…
That was Brobeck’s tag line, part of its much-talked about but under-analyzed branding strategy. Until now, that is. Deborah McMurray, one of my co-authors on the cleverly titled The Lawyer’s Guide to Marketing on the Internet, dissects Brobeck’s brand and the repercussions of its dissolution on the blog devoted to our book. It’s great reading.
Dean’s speech to the California Democratic Party…
The video archive page is updated and includes Governor Dean’s speech to the California Democratic Party on Saturday.
“I want my country back!”
A first-hand write-up from an attendee at the California Democratic Party convention:
But the most amazing part was the finale, with a fiery Dean pounding the podium:

Blogs as journalism? Who cares?
So here’s an interesting twist on the blogs-as-journalism meme (my second in a week, no less): I maintain a blog about a presidential campaign. In that blog, I keep an outline which is an up-to-date archive of the major articles about the candidate. It generates a lot of traffic, and I’ve received quite a bit […]
Meetup.com - campaign rallies nationwide
Like Online Dating, With a Political Spin. Hundreds of people turned out in New York last week to hear a presidential candidate at an event organized not by his campaign staff but by a Web site. By Lisa Napoli. [New York Times: Technology]

George Soros on board?
This report in today’s Seattle Times raises questions whether Soros has “endorsed” Dean; the article claims he would endorse “either Kerry or Dean.”
Interesting. Hedging his bets?
