That was massively successful. If that's "all" they're doing, it could have formidable long-term effects.
The right has beaten us on at least two important fronts - one, the sort of database building that Weyrich did, and two, getting radical ideas taken more seriously by the less radical. I was a right-winger in 1971, and you have no idea how marginal we were. Now, it's CW.

But MoveOn doesn't take that many resources. The Internet is massively cheaper than direct mail, and quicker and easier to automate. I'm surprised that you, given your role with the Infoshop website, would take this position.
