I firmly believe the David v. Goliath story we have witnessed today will go down in the history of 21st century politics. Who said this not one week ago:
"Big moments, political or otherwise, will no longer be remembered by people as times when everyone gathered around TVs to watch a speech, press conference or other event. Increasingly, most of us will recall firing up the computer, searching for a video and watching it at home or at the office -- or even on our cell phones," he wrote.

Something had to be done, and Plouffe has done it. The man has delivered. Now is our chance to take the video gold that he has delivered to us and put it in front of the American people.
Follow me on the flip for the beginnings of a discussion about how to do just that.
The video of one man against an entire roomful of men and women bent on his destruction is powerful. In my opinion it is destined to be a classic.
However, we have a job to do. The more Americans that see this, the better chance all of our plans for policy change will have.
This diary is directed at figuring out how we can chop up this video material into digestible bits and get it out to the media, in all its forms, throughout the country.
No doubt it will be up on YouTube.
No doubt it will be on C-Span.
But we need to figure out how to get clips of it on everyone's mobile phone, and get every local network news channel across the country to cover it.
The Comments section is for suggestions on how to do this. If the comments are plentiful enough, and can be synthesized, I promise to do a strategy/tactics document as my next diary.
