They had spoken of, and planned for, this moment for weeks, but neither of them had expected their scheme would come to fruition, and certainly not in so haphazard a fashion. But there they were nonetheless. Success lay just a hundred yards away if they could only summon the courage to sprint to their Harvard brethren, dog in tow. Slowly jogging onto the grass, they...

Susan Gardener, one of the elect contributors who can post to the blog's front page, says Moulitsas simply "created a huge town hall and then stood back and let it happen." Yet the cell phone pictures snapped and the rapt audiences tell another story. Moulitsas says that the consultants whom he originally planned to excoriate in his book "now are asking for autographs....The same with some reporters."
