HotSoup
A MySpace-type social network for adult political nerds?
That's what Mark McKinnon (who directed President Bush's campaign), Carter Eskew (chief strategist for Al Gore's campaign), Ron Fournier (former chief political writer for The AP), Matthew Dowd (chief strategist for the Bush campaign in 2004), and Joe Lockhart (former Clinton press secretary) will unveil in October.
Hotsoup.com "would connect...local opinion leaders with high-profile newsmakers who influence national opinion. Newsmakers would post essays, respond to reader questions and debate the issues. Participants could rate the arguments, much like readers post book reviews on Amazon.com."
"Despite their political backgrounds and distinct party affiliations, Hotsoup founders said the site will provide a nonpartisan forum not just for politics, but for topics ranging from science to popular culture, from business to current affairs."
