While we were out in Colorado late last month, we sat down in Denver with Swing Vote Magazine, an online magazine of approximately 50,000 subscribers covering politics, community, culture and more in the state of Colorado. The magazine was recently credentialed for the 2008 Democratic National Convention as well.

Each week the magazine does an interview with a political or community leader, and Mike is featured as the cover story for the May 5th edition, including a full-length interview.

We saw Howie Klein, one of Mike’s and my favorite bloggers, who write sat DownWithTyranny! at our Book Soup event in West Hollywood last Friday, and he wrote up a summary of the discussion and Mike’s central “progressive versus conservative” argument. He also adds a good historical discussion in the context of progressive history. You can take a look here (and he includes awesome pictures to spice it up).
