"Massachusetts is ground zero," he said. He predicted that a tremendous amount of resources, financial and human, will pour into the commonwealth for this effort.

Bloggers will have a special responsibility, he added. This includes:

• Being aware of who's coming.
• Learn why they're coming.
• Keep track of what they do here.
• Help the media and political leaders understand what they are doing.

There are only two years to do this. Bloggers can make a huge difference.
