Movement Update, Wiki Update, Candidate Update

Couple quick items.

• First, Ben Waxman has an article in Dissent about how badly conservatives are kicking progressive ass when it comes to investing in the next generation. It's a good primer if you're unfamiliar with just how massively behind we are in this critical piece of movement building.
  
  Summer Internships: Liberals and Leftists Strike Out
• Speaking of which, Brandon Silverman of The Center for Progressive Leadership just updated the Jobs and Training section of our DIY Politics wiki. While Ben may be right that conservatives are investing more in their future leaders than progressives, there are a variety of training programs, fellowships, and internships available for those looking for a way into the progressive movement. Some of them even come with financial assistance.

  Check them out at DIY Politics.

  The wiki has grown quite a bit in the last two weeks. It may not look pretty (yet), but we're making headway in compiling content. Young People For has agreed to let us republish their Little Black Book series in wiki format, so we now have fairly robust sections on campus organizing and media/messaging (Thanks to YPF Executive Director Iara Peng). Thanks also to reader Erin Kenzie, who is single handedly building a great section about organizational operations.

• Finally, this article goes beyond CNN/Rock the Vote's insulting (and planted) "PC vs. Mac" question and examines where the major '08 candidates stand on IT issues like Net Neutrality.
