A few other “The First Campaign” press-related tidbits:
- I was the subject of WETA’s “Author Author” interview last week, where we talked about the book’s meaning and the transformation of this ongoing political election. I don’t look my best on camera but it’s a good interview nonetheless.
- Podcast-wise, you can listen to me being interviewed on “America’s Business with Mike Hambrick,” the official radio show of the National Association of Manufacturers. My relationship with NAM was one of the more interesting twists of the book: While ideologically we don’t agree on much, one of my best sources/idea-bouncer-offers in writing “The First Campaign” was Pat Cleary, who at the time headed up communications at NAM. We found that we agreed on a ton of issues regarding trade, the economy, education, and even health care. I ended up featuring the story of Tony Raimondo, a member of NAM’s board of directors, quite prominently in the book. American business has a lot in common with the progressive left on many of the First Campaign issues and it’ll be interesting to see whether a thoughtful Democrat nominee can reach across the aisle and build some support in the business community. NAM, by the way, has an excellent blog that covers many of the First Campaign issues: Shopfloor.org.
- Lastly, in the same realm, I have another piece this week at Internet Evolution’s ThinkerNet blog, examining the challenge to American online leadership.
