MoveOn vs. MySpace; Darcy Burner on Young Voters; Ask A Poll Question

I just won $40 in the Preakness, and a diary I wrote on Daily Kos appeared prominently in Yochai Benkler's presentation at yesterday's PDF conference (as part of a diary rescue). It's a good weekend.

  • MoveOn and MySpace got into a dust-up at PDF yesterday over MySpace's moderating/censorship practices. Get the dirt at ePolitics and Mashable!
  • At Washblog, netroots candidate Darcy Burner is talking about the importance of getting out the youth vote in local races, and she's got local demographic and turnout stats to back up her argument.
  • Peter Levine, director of CIRCLE needs help determining what questions to ask in a new poll about youth and online political engagement. Leave your suggestions in the comments on his blog.
  • I recently dug up this piece from The Nation's archive about the campus conservative movement's efforts to discredit and remove liberal professors. Read it and then go check out Free Exchange, a coalition to counter the right wing's attacks on free speech on campus.
