| I was listening to NPR today, and they were interviewing some Georgetown University student who really gets into the whole UTube thing. He brought up an interesting point or two... 1. We're in an age where candidates have less and less control over their campaigns - especially what some of their "fans" post on the internet. 2. The candidates that win elections will be the ones who figure out how to use this internet technology to their advantage. | |||||||||||||||||||||

I don't even remember the last time I watched t.v. Honestly! Well, I do use it to play Halo on Xbox with the roommates and to watch DVD's, but other than that, I do not watch anything else. All my news comes from the FoxNews tab and the CNN news feeds. (Both sides of the story) I have a feeling the Internet will be a more important source for information about a candidate..not a 20 second ad on the tube. | ||

In the last campaign we had the Swift Boat Veterans, and I don't think Bush had any real tangible correlation with their campaign. Quote:
 But seriously, it's bound to swing over in the "internet technology" section. We're already seeing some effects of that with bloggers breaking some news stories before the major television news sources do. Take the "Al Gore house energy bill" issue that you posted about. I think that story was first seen on an internet web-site, and it's got to be having some impact on the minds of the public. (Not a "candidate" issue, but relevant just the same.)
