My Upcoming Texas Aggie Democrats Talk on Blogs in Politics

This one is for my readers at Texas A&M University.

I'm currently visiting Texas for a couple of weeks, and I'll be speaking at the first meeting of the semester of the Texas Aggie Democrats this Wednesday, 5 September, at 8:30 pm in Rudder 502. I'll be talking a bit about the Democratic Party in general and about the work that my colleagues and I did when I was a student there. Most importantly, though, I'll be talking about the emerging role of blogs in politics. So, if you're at Texas A&M, I hope to see you there.
