Political Sons Launch Ruck.us, A Social Engagement Platform Based On Issues, Not Parties

In honor of President Obama's LinkedIn town hall meeting today -- and the impending campaign -- we bring you a political startup. Before you gag, give it a chance; I think this is a political startup that might just get your vote. Launching today is Ruck.us: A social and political engagement platform that allows like-minded individuals to find each other, connect, and to take collective action based on issues, not political affiliations. On the surface, that doesn't sound particularly earth-shattering. We're pretty sure both Facebook and Twitter enable this kind of grouping -- as does Fox News and MSNBC (and No Labels and Americans Elect). But it does help that the Ruck.us co-founders both have politics in their blood: Ray Glendening is the son of former Maryland Gov. Parris Glendening and Nathan Daschle is the son of former Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle. Naturally, both guys have been involved with the democratic party professionally, having recently worked for the Democratic Governors Association.
