2004 Presidential Election
Doc Searls is thinking about Open Source Politics. Says Doc, "Metaphors are never 1:1 meaning mappings. That's their irony. We understand things in terms of other things that are in fact quite different. (Example: We understand time in terms of money. That's why we "save," "waste," "invest" and "spend" it.)"
Dave Winer: "Thanks Doc for looking into the Dean campaign's use of the term open source to describe their campaign. We seem to agree that it's not an accurate use of the term, that what they really mean is "open," which of course, is very very cool. Now maybe the next step is, in an open way, to throw this over the fence to Dean's Internet advisory board, which is staffed by many of our friends in BlogLand."
NHPrimary.com: "Democratic presidential contenders returned to California en masse last week - trolling the state for endorsements, volunteers and, especially, cash."
