[lbo-talk] Elections and Internet mythbusting

[Jim Westrich]

Former lbo-talk lister Zack Exley was apparently Kerry-Edwards e-campaign guru
(who knew?) and he had some pretty interesting things to say about the
campaign. His "stunning" conclustion is quite revealing: campaigns need actual
field organization, content (!!), and voters and LESS internet geegaws and blog
blather.

"Cyberspace produces a culture where people are segregated more than ever
before, and where the broad pluralistic society suffers increasing neglect.
The world burns and cybernauts expect me to protest whether they can fiddle
in front of their computer."

     --Stephen J. Raphael (1995)
