4. David Sirota -- More details

If I remember correctly...

David Sirota is some kind of wunderkind who manages to find an amazing array of well-documented links showing right-wing perfidy. He's pretty influential in simply disseminating information.

He's the principal author of the CAP's Progress Report. (Link: http://www.americanprogress.org/site/pp.asp?c=biJRJ8OVF&b=6228)

His bio: http://www.americanprogress.org/site/pp.asp?c=biJRJ8OVF&b=2462

He has a blog: http://www.davidsirota.com/

I suspect he'll be on AirAm often because he just knows an incredible amount. He does the work of about 100 first-rate bloggers and journalists in collecting information. He's really an amazing one-man resource.

What more: we're seeing the emergence of left-wing synergies. That is, CAP is helping the O'Franken factor fill time; O'Franken Factor is popularizing American Progress's work. It's the beginning of a left-wing echo chamber whose time is long overdue.
