Dean Of The Media http://nationaljournal.com/powers.htm
The question is: What precisely turns some candidates into media sensations? Dean's nascent candidacy, and the way it's gradually emerging through the news, is an opportunity to look at the media's own electoral process unfolding in real time. Take the Dean story and combine it with all that's happened to the Democratic Party in the past few weeks, and you can begin to see him as the candidate most likely to see a breakout in the coming months.

About Nation-Building
Nation-Building was founded by Aziz Poonawalla in August 2002 under the name Dean Nation. Dean Nation was the very first weblog devoted to a presidential candidate, Howard Dean, and became the vanguard of the Dean netroot phenomenon, raising over $40,000 for the Dean campaign, pioneering the use of Meetup, and enjoying the attention of the campaign itself, with Joe Trippi a regular reader (and sometime commentor). Howard Dean himself even left a comment once. Dean Nation was a group weblog effort and counts among its alumni many of the progressive blogsphere's leading talent including Jerome Armstrong, Matthew Yglesias, and Ezra Klein. After the election in 2004, the blog refocused onto the theme of "purple politics", formally changing its name to Nation-Building in June 2006. The primary focus of the blog is on articulating purple-state policy at home and pragmatic liberal interventionism abroad.
