As the Bush era winds down, we can look back at what we have accomplished as a movement and what comes next.

· Was there one moment when you realized, this new wave of on-line activists might actually make an impact?
· What do you see as some of the great successes of netroots politics so far? And shortcomings?
· What's got you most excited moving forward? Are there up and coming innovators, organizations, ideas you're keeping an eye on?
· What's the role of the netroots in a friendlier administration and Congress than the one we have had for the last eight years?
