Anton picks up on Dave's suggestion that John Edwards help teach people to blog, and points out that several grassroots efforts in that direction are already up and running in North Carolina (and beyond).

No need for Edwards to reinvent the wheel, he and his team could participate in and learn from the ongoing grassroots projects, and maybe create some of their own.

These things work, and work for politicians. One of the pioneering public-servant blogs in the nation, by Sandy Carmany, grew out of a Greensboro teach-in.

We'd love to see John Edwards and any other public figures at ConvergeSouth this fall.
