I have a profound hunger to understand that, especially having grown up in a household where I had this very attractive, successful father who was incredibly violent...

Compared with established interest groups like organized labor and conservative Christians, the Netroots play a small role in national politics. Even their most ardent players now recognize that you can't create a true movement using nothing but modems and instant messaging.
