                                    When I ran my first marathon, I have to tell you it was hard finishing the race.  In fact, I know that I would not have finished without the strong support of friends, family and complete strangers cheering me on.

                                    Today, the Huckabee Rangers are running a marathon for this campaign as they try and complete almost 26,000 voter contact calls to Wisconsin voters before 9 PM today. 

                                    Like you, the Rangers believe very strongly in our campaign and I want to show them how thankful I am, and frankly we all are for their support.  You see, since South Carolina, our campaign has relied on the Rangers to make over 275,000 voter contact calls in key states such as Tennessee, Alabama, Kansas and Georgia.  Since last Thursday, Rangers have made over 43,000 calls to Wisconsin voters and as you can expect finishing this marathon of calls today will be a great challenge.

                                    To show our appreciation for their efforts, I am asking every supporter to thank the Rangers by leaving a comment on our campaign blog today and then please make a contribution of $25 or more to help move us closer to our fundraising goal.

                                    If you would like to join the Rangers making calls click here.

                                    Please thank the Rangers by leaving a comment on our blog today and then consider making a contribution of $25 or more today.

                                    Rangers are running a marathon for our campaign today.  Help me cheer them on to the end of their race.

                                    With deep gratitude,

What Twitter Won't Tell You About the Election

A new study released on Tuesday by the Pew Research Center for the People & the Press on Tuesday offers the opportunity to get real about what the political conversation on Twitter and Facebook can — or can't — tell you about the progression of the 2012 political campaign. Pew has found that even among users of Twitter and Facebook, a paltry percentage of people use social networks to get news about politics: Only 24 percent of Twitter users in the sample and 25 percent of Facebook users said they "sometimes" got campaign news through that network, while a full 40 percent of Twitter users in the sample and 46 percent of other social media users reported "never" getting campaign news through either Twitter or Facebook.

Navigating New York's "Road Map for the Digital City," One Year In

In May 2011, New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg revealed a "Road Map for the Digital City," a plan to use technology to make city government more and participatory, and to leverage the city's tech sector for economic and civic gains.

New York City Chief Digital Officer Rachel Sterne will join our editorial director, Micah Sifry, on a conference call this Friday afternoon to discuss the progress on that road map so far. The call is free and open to anyone to join. You can sign up here.

As if "chop suey fonts" and obvious graphic allusions to the stereotype of the Chinese as the Yellow Peril weren't controversial enough, the group that created an incendiary microsite for former Rep. Pete Hoekstra's campaign has managed to further fan the flames with what it's calling a mistake in its code. GO

Fidel Castro Loves the Internet

“The Internet is a revolutionary instrument that permits the receiving and transmission of ideas, in both directions, that is something we should know how to use,” Fidel Castro told a crowd of supporters on Feb. 4, according to the state-owned Cuban newspaper Granma International. Castro, who made his first public appearance since April 2011, launched his two-volume memoir, “Guerilla of Time,” and took the opportunity to discuss issues of importance to him. Earlier this week, Miranda Neubauer reported that one of these topics was the need for the Internet. Castro has been a proponent of the Internet as a tool for the exchange of ideas since 2003, but the average Cuban citizen faces great difficulty getting online. GO

White House CTO Aneesh Chopra's Exit Interview

On his way out of the White House and back to Virginia, where he is expected to run for public office — but will neither confirm or deny that's the plan — Aneesh Chopra describes the shape of the post he pioneered as the country's first-ever chief technology officer.

As a result of Chopra's interview with The Atlantic's tech/politics correspondent, Nancy Scola, there's now a public record of what this first-ever CTO thinks the CTO's job actually is ("On any topic that is a priority for the president, my role is evaluate how technology, data, and innovation can advance, support, and improve upon those strategies," among other things) and how it might be improved.
