Rules for Radicals

Watching the news today about the Clinton campaign's need to self-finance, I couldn't help but think of the following quote from Saul Alinsky's Rules for Radicals:

"Power has always derived from two main sources: money and people."

Using the Internet, the Obama campaign has found a way to link the two in electoral politics. How deeply ironic would it be if Clinton, a self-proclaimed Alinsky devotee, was defeated by a former community organizer from Alinsky's own Chicago who found a way to upend Alinsky's own rules?

Yes. We. Can.
