Week before last, Matt Compton posted a review here of Matt Bai's influential book The Argument: Billionaires, Bloggers, and the Battle To Remake Democratic Politics.

For those who enjoyed Matt's review, or have read the book, or have simply heard the buzz about it, I recommend you go over to TPMCafe, where there's an extensive discussion of it, including Bai himself, Mark Schmitt, Joan McCarter (a.k.a. McJoan), Garance Franke-Ruta, Nathan Newman, The Reapers (Ted Nordhaus and Michael Schellenberger) and yours truly.

To my surprise, much of the discussion (largely driven by the ever-thoughtful Mark Schmitt) has been not about the internal "argument" among Democrats on the direction of the party, but about the external "argument" Democrats need to present concerning the big challenges facing the country. It's perhaps the most extensive discussion of a book I've seen at TPMCafe, and it's still expanding. Check it out.
