the Internet revolution wasn't responsible for electing Mr. ObamaWell it sure played a part...
I signed up for both campaigns. The daily emails from Dem candidates were energising and exciting. McCains emails were pessimistic and angry.
Two emails from Oct 29:
To the McCain Community:
Barack Obama and Joe Biden have consistently lied to Americans about John McCain's plan. Their claims have failed every fact check from CBS to the Washington Post. John McCain is not going to raise taxes on middle class families. Barack Obama and Joe Biden are the only ones in this race that plan to raise taxes. Their recent attacks have become increasingly misleading. Read the fact sheet below or click here to learn the truth about the McCain-Palin Health Care Plan.

Dear Friend,
Let's get right to it. With one week before Election Day, these three great members of Congress need your help right now.
Kirsten Gillibrand was one of the earliest volunteers in my first race for the Senate back in 2000 helping to organize Women for Hillary. In 2006, she unseated a Republican incumbent in upstate New York; now she faces a tough campaign in her first reelection.
Pennsylvania's Paul Kanjorski is facing a barrage of negative attacks from Republicans desperate to win his seat. He's a great friend who works hard on behalf of the people in his district; now he needs our help.
And Joe Sestak -- also from Pennsylvania -- is a retired admiral who worked in the White House during Bill's administration. Like Kirsten, he defeated a Republican in 2006, and we need to make sure he wins his race this year so he can continue to speak out for sensible national security policies on behalf of the men and women of our armed forces.
These three friends have been on the front lines fighting for us, and with Barack Obama in the White House they can help put America back on the right path.
...
I'm so proud to have had the opportunity to work with you, and I know that your friendship and support will continue to make a difference for me and for America in the years to come.
Thank you so much,
Hillary
Sarah was absolutely right. Obama does not see America as she and the honorable people of America see their country. While Sarah and her supporters’ reverence for their country is seen as naive and inviolable, Obama and his supporters see America as flawed, its masses stupid and its agenda worthy of any distortion, lie, fraud, or ruthless and authoritarian exercise of power. Unfortunately ruthlessless beats naivety every time.
