This is true. Shakes is now the netroots coordinator at the Edwards campaign. I know this from her appearance the other day at the Edwards blog, which I frequent. It's a fairly minor story, just one more hire by a presidential candidate. I think it's interesting from the perspective of the growing importance of the net in politics. I also happen to personally agree with a reason she cites for supporting him - we can't expect someone who's perfect and doesn't make mistakes, but we can expect them to admit it.
