Georgia10 Cover Story in Chicago Reader !

While walking back from lunch today in Chicago's Loop, I did a double take walking past a newspaper box.  

There, on the cover of the largest circulation free weekly in town was the smiling face of Georgia, along with the headline "Who Is Georgia10".

Wow, I thought, the Kos thing is really out of control.  The Reader has a circulation of over 100,000 and a hell of a lot of people read it.  Even my mom reads it.

Anyway, a short overview below, since it won't be up on the Reader's website until tomorrow, I believe.

The subtitle of the article reads:

"How a 23-year-old law student became one of the most influential political bloggers on the internet".

What follows is a 4 page article describing dailykos, Georgia's life as a student and writer and Georgia's writing itself.

Good quotes from Georgia:

About her relative anonymity:

I'll be in a class with a hundred people with laptops and I see pulling up the site and reading my work, and they don't know I'm the one who wrote the article.

About a college experience in which she tried to reform student government at Northeastern Illinois University:

That definitely taught me that the rule of law is paramount, especially in times of chaos.

About the 2004 election:

I loved John Kerry. I know you don't hear that every day, but I could relate to him a lot.

Anyway, if you're in Chicago, pick it up.  Otherwise, it should be up on the Reader website soon.
