Welcome to Dean uber blogger Mathew Gross as he returns to private life with his own blog. Matt’s blog will be a magnet for Internet activists, and his blogads are good value. Matt makes an interesting point:

And the amazing thing — the thing I still have yet to see a single pundit get — was that only 600,000 people in a nation of 300 million did that. 600,000 people shook the very foundation of political power in this country. It was an earthquake felt by both parties, the media, and the special interests. That feeling scared the hell out of a lot of people in Washington D.C. But you know what it felt like to the rest of us? It felt like hope.
