I was over on the draftobama.org website this morning and they are reporting in a press release that Zephyr Teachout and John Hlinko have joined the movement. This seems to be pretty big news to me. Both of them are accomplished online organizers capable of moving The DraftObama online presence to the forefront of political websites right now.

For those of you who don't know here's a refresher, Zephyr was head of Internet Organizing on Dean's Presidential campaign and Hlinko founded Wes Clark's online draft movement. These people KNOW how to organize online. Zephyr also works with the Sunlight Foundation which is creating some great online resources for people to track Congress including Congresspedia. Hlinko is with Grassroots Enterprise and is a founder of Act For Love.
It looks more and more like there is some serious energy behind a potential Obama run. He is a phenominal fundraiser, can inspire the party faithful and will be able to put together a significant grassroots network. It now looks like Obama is going to be able to put together a solid netroots team as well.
