Internet as a polarizing force
Rough Type: "It's only natural to think that a revolutionary communications technology like the internet will help break down barriers between people and bring the world closer together. But that's not the only scenario, or even the most likely one. The internet turns everything, from knowledge-gathering to community-building, into a series of tiny transactions - clicks - that are simple in isolation yet extraordinarily complicated in the aggregate. Research shows that very small biases, when magnified through thousands or millions or billions of choices, can turn into profound schisms. There's reason to believe, or at least to fear, that this effect, inherent in large networks, may end up turning the internet into a polarizing force rather than a unifying one."

Maintain Educational Standards in Colorado
Here's a campaign website using weblog software from the get-go, Maintain Educational Standards in Colorado. They're using Blogger so the upfront cost is pretty low.
Coyote Gulch has always recommended that candidates and campaigns keep the content on the their home page up to date. Weblogs are a great means to that end. You can have all the regular links, events, email list, donations, biography, white papers, etc. The difference is content that is current with the issues of the campaign, local issues, along with statewide or national issues.

Early 2008 presidential poll
Oval Office 2008: "Among possible Republican runners, Giuliani has an 8-point lead (30-22 percent) over Arizona Senator John McCain, with Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice not far behind on 18 percent, despite denying all interest in running. Virginia Senator George Allen leads the chasing pack, with 7 percent, followed by Bill Frist, Mitt Romney and Haley Barbour on 3 percent or less.
"Hillary's lead among Democrats remains substantial, according to CNN. 'Clinton was the favorite of 43 percent of the Democrats polled,' CNN says. John Kerry and John Edwards shared second spot, with just 14 percent support each. Joe Biden isn't doing too badly at 7 percent, while Mark Warner, Bill Richardson, Evan Bayh and Tom Vilsack trail behind with 3 percent or less."
Political Wire: "Departing Virginia Gov. Mark Warner (D) 'is taking his all-but-official presidential campaign back to New Hampshire and is planning a fundraising trip to the political mega-state of California,' the Richmond Times-Dispatch reports."
