Reason #12,378 that the Dems should go with Obama
Scrivener April 1st, 2008
I’ve been reading the Avenue A | Razorfish Digital Outlook Report for 2008, and in the section on 10 digital media issues to watch for this year, Sara Baehr & Alyson Hyder point out that “The Web will be the most impactful and influential medium in the 2008 presidential race, not only for presidential hopefuls but for self-education and self-expression. Much like radio for Roosevelt and TV for JFK, the 2008 race for the White House will be determined by candidates’ abilities to connect with and galvanize supporters online. The internet has changed the political environment.” That seems to me right, and it seems to me that there can be little doubt about which of the three campaigns actually understands how to make use of the internet in effective ways.

Obama takes Georgia
Scrivener February 5th, 2008
According to the NYTimes, Obama has won my state. Yay!
Josh Marshall has some exit poll numbers that look quite good for Obama. According to his numbers, at least, Clinton will only win NY, AR, OK, TN, and maybe CA (but those delegates are going to be split 50-50 b/c of the way they’re allocated) today. Marshall’s numbers predict that Obama takes GA, CT, IL, AL, DE, MA, MO, NJ, AZ, NM, and UT.
If it’s Obama vs McCain, Democrats might actually win a number of states in the South. For the last couple of decades there have been voices arguing that the Dems need to be much more conservative, especially on the subject of race, in order to make gains in the South, so how awesome would it be to see the Republicn solid South fall apart this year with this candidate?
