So I ended up on their email list.

Does anybody know anything about them?

1. Have you tried Googling them?

[Turbineguy]

2. Not much there.

A twitter posting, but I don't know the provenance of that either.

3. In which case, you probably don't need to pay much attention to them.

I don't believe I've seen that name, but I miss a lot.

4. Also added to the list...

I also ended up on their texting list. I just googled and found... absolutely nothing. Except a Facebook page. I did give money before researching (oops) but it did go through the ActBlue secure page. Would love to know who is actually on the receiving end of the funds they are soliciting after every petition they have you sign. Or if the petitions are even legit.

A Message from Managing Editor Ed Kilgore

The Democratic Strategist has three editorial goals–(1) to provide an explicitly and unapologetically partisan platform for the discussion of Democratic political strategy, (2) to insist upon greater use of data and greater reliance on empirical evidence in strategic thinking and (3) to act as a neutral forum and center of discussion for all sectors of the Democratic community.

As The Democratic Strategists’ editorial philosophy states, the publication will be “proudly partisan, firmly and insistently based on facts and data and emphatically open to all sectors and currents of opinion within the Democratic community”.

Sincerely Yours,
Ed Kilgore, Managing Editor
