It's tough because Bradley is an insider's insider, and we're just a bunch of people with a blog.
We get thrown a bone now and again, or a lucky break, but all we have are our wits and our will.
In the Angelides camps defense they are hiring some new folks on, and are paying attention to the netroots... our site has helped show them the power of that... but it's still a work in progress, very much.

I hadn't heard anything about the new hires. I got a chance to talk to a staffer about a month ago and spent the whole time complaining to him about the utter lack of netroots presence and why it mattered.
I sent a follow-up email about it where I said, "hey, if this Lamont guy wins, everyones gonna be talking about the netroots." Then the next day at Calitics there was a post saying, "Hey, Phil should do a better job with the netroots." Then you guys started GovernorPhil, which is great. I still haven't gotten a reply to my email though :(
Anyway, good luck with the site. I know I'll be reading.

...but I've had an LJ/blog for years, and I've been backing Angelides since '03! So they must be doing something right! :-)
Also, I think Phil won one of Feingold's Progressive Patriots polls...
