Hi all, I’m Justin Gardner, editor of the centrist blog Donklephant. Joe has been kind enough to invite me to post on TMV and I’m more than happy to oblige.
A little background on me…I’m a marketing guy by day and am currently working at a new internet search technology startup. I used to write a left-wing screed/e-newsletter called StayInformed, but I realized that, instead of helping, I was part of the problem. That wasn’t a very fun couple of weeks.
So I shifted. Centrists, moderates and whoever comes to the table with an open mind… those are the people I’m trying to reach now. Because where respect is the rule, unity is the effect.
Here’s to Joe and TMV. Let the fun begin.
