Holy shit.  Ed Cone is reporting that Tara Grubb, the first candidate to run a campaign direct to the people via the Internet, is getting double digits (with 27% of districts reporting).  If she only had some money there would have been a chance to...  I personally donated $20, but I am sure not many other people did (she was too much of a longshot).  This is very encouraging.  Being directly connected matters.  Here is Slate's handicap on Wired candidates and how to tell whether being online matters.  We can already see from Tara's early numbers that it DOES.

Almost double figures!. Tara Sue Grubb is getting 9 percent of the vote. Hey, that's a load more than zero. It means almost 1 in 10 voted for her. I call that a major victory. [The Doc Searls Weblog] 8:54:10 PM    comment []

City streets aren't safe to walk on. Cars are being stolen at a rapid clip. Homes are burglarized. The air around us is poisoned. But thanks to advertising, our underarms are fully protected. 5:47:35 AM    comment []
