2008... The Internet President?

A New Open-Source Politics
"Just as Linux lets users design their own operating systems, so 'netroots' politicos may redesign our nominating system.
Bob Schieffer of CBS News made a good point on "The Charlie Rose Show" last week. He said that successful presidents have all skillfully exploited the dominant medium of their times. The Founders were eloquent writers in the age of pamphleteering. Franklin D. Roosevelt restored hope in 1933 by mastering radio. And John F. Kennedy was the first president elected because of his understanding of television.

Will 2008 bring the first Internet president?"
