...viral effect of the promotion will surely help it fare better than a similar American Airlines deal in the 1980s and a $1,650-per-month Air Canada pass that came out in 2007. JetBlue has more than a million Twitter followers, more than any other brand besides Whole Foods, the NBA and Zappos, according to trackingtwitter.com. News of the deal spread across the Twitter-sphere, and about a dozen websites and blogs, like wherewejet.com, have popped up to chronicle JetBlue adventures, share itinerary ideas and find cheap places to sleep. Traveler Jennifer Milano has even organized a New York...

It doesn't come easily. "This is a secret, secret place," an Imperial resident tells Vollmann. "In a way, it's like the Nam. Just like the old guys don't make friends...
...what happens if Obama takes the next step and explicitly abandons the public option? The left will be disappointed and its enthusiasm for the whole exercise may wane, though Obama probably won't lose many votes among liberal Democrats on Capitol Hill.
