I heard the tail end of Mike Gallagher’s segment with Tom DeLay this morning. Looks like he is going to make a come back via the blog and his Grassroots Action and Information Network (GAIN). Welcome to the blogosphere Tom. I wish more of our leaders were involved here.
In Tom’s own words:
In all honesty, I did not fully realize the impact or potential of the blogosphere until very recently, when Red State gave me the opportunity to post some of my observations in the wake of the recent midterm elections. The response I received was overwhelming, and I would like to again thank the fine people at that site.
This experience brought me to the immediate realization that I needed to become more directly involved in the blogosphere. TomDeLay.com is the product of our latest effort to find new ways to connect, unite and organize conservatives from all over America into a real grassroots political force.
Looking at the GAIN application (you might want to convert this to PDF format) I notice the requirements for two references who can vouch for one’s past in grassroots efforts. Are newcomers unwelcome in GAIN? The “impact and potential of the blogosphere” will bring many to want to get involved for the first time, only to be turned away. (Mr. DeLay, please correct me if I am wrong about GAIN membership.)
