I recently wrote a paper for a class on elections concerning the influence of the internet on politics, and I was wondering simply, do you feel like this election season is drastically different from the 2000 election or other previous elections?
I am a Dean supporter who has been reading the blog since it started. I am thoroughly amazed by the way the blog and meetups seem to have created this sense of community involvement with politics unlike anything I remember from past elections. I also realize this is happening to varying degrees in other campaigns as well. In addition, I feel like the emergence of daily kos and other political blogs are increasing political awareness and fostering political discussion. Do the readers of kos think these developments are going to significantly change the political culture in this country?
I'm starting to believe it's possible.
