DIGG might be great for those who willingly log onto DIGG, or FreeRepublic.
But my experience, after doing thousands of door knocks this fall on behalf of McCain and my local GOP candidates, is that a large majority of people have never heard of FreeRepublic, much less DIGG.
And if they DID know about it, don't want to go there because they are not political junkies like you and I.
We mistakenly think that everyone has heard about the near traitorous things Obama has done, but in reality most people only watch network news or mainstream newspapers, which refuse to publish anything bad about Obama.
A person can have much more influence on neighbors and/or friends whom they know and somewhat trust than an impersonal, anonymous posting on DIGG or FR.
That's my point. Many of my immediate neighbors would trust something I told them waaaaaay before something they read on a website.
All I say is visit DIGG.com from time to time. I’ll bet if you take time to see what is going on, you’ll begin to appreciate the scale and influence.
How many of your friends have read this positive article about Gov. Palin? Would you rather have negative articles about her circulating or positive?

With DIGG you can push it out to many.(note the DIGG icon at the end of the article)
