There’s too much chatter about the Iowa primary this morning to summarize even a thousandth of what’s being said. Two quick pointers: Scoble and Doc think Dean’s loss is about the Internet candidate not translating well to television; Greg wonders if this will position Dean as the power broker for the convention.

The real question for the Internet candidate, as I think for all of us who feel passionate about America and about our freedoms and using the Internet to build a more perfect union, is how do we make that vision real? How do we infuse the rest of America with our conviction? How do we translate passion into real action? How do we get down out of our ivory towers long enough to save the world.

Looks to be a busy few weeks at work. I am, however, going to take time out to go to an MIT alumni gathering in Seattle tonight. Hopefully I’ll get to see some of my friends from Sloan—for whatever reason we don’t get together nearly as often as we should.
