DailyKOS has written a very good post about the new power of the blogosphere and its affects on political campaigns, a power brought to light lately by the turmoil in the Clark campaign. Read it, it's very enlightening. Snippet:
| The Internet now allows rank and file Democrats, otherwise unaffiliated with any traditional powerbrokers or interest groups, to exert collective influence on a campaign. It's not merely a way to raise money (a big misconception), but to encourage people to use their own initiative to advocate their preferred candidates and issues any way they see fit. |
