Michael Charney is the author of the new book, Chasing Glenn Beck: A Personal Experiment in Reclaiming our Hijacked Political Conversation (www.chasingglennbeck.com). This unique memoir explores Charney's belief that loud-spoken, fear-driven, hardcore, right-wing extremists are destroying the Republican Party. Charney offers a rare "voice from the middle", examining the most pressing issues facing our country and questioning our growing problem with what he calls "Electile Dysfunction."  He is also the co-host of "The Middle Ground" on the CoffeePartyUSA Internet Radio Network, which airs Tuesdays at 8 PM EST on BlogTalkRadio.
