2004 Presidential Campaign
Doc Searls comments and links on the subject of net roots, Howard Dean, and the newness of using the Internet in campaigns. It's working for Howard Dean, he raised $7.5 million in the last quarter:
Old Jones, New Politics. I hate to admit that I still don't know sh*t about Howard Dean, even though I have lots of friends who do and are crazy about the guy. What I do know is that the Net roots movement behind him is a freaking jihad. When I read stuff like this and this I want to play an old song. Here's the deal with Dean: It's about the money. Follow it. Where does it come from? Not the usual suspects. There are too damn many of None of the Above. Instead, he owes The Roots. This is a New Thing. And they don't know what it is. I love it. New mantra: It's The Roots, Stupid. By the way, there are plenty of Net roots behind Dubya too. Don't discount them. [The Doc Searls Weblog]
