In his New York Times column this weekend, Frank Rich quoted Andrew Rasiej, founder of the Personal Democracy Forum. Rasiej was explaining how television networks measure their success while covering the national party conventions; When they point to the biggest share of the television audience, he says “they are still counting horses while the world has moved on to counting locomotives.”

Here are links to some of the tools and websites Brady discussed on the show:
