This is the first time I’ll be voting for a candidate, not voting against another.
The game changed in ’60 when Kennedy faced Nixon on television. Kennedy and his folks understood the medium, and understood how to better use it. They had conscious competence of the most important medium of the day.
2008 is the first presidential election in which a candidate’s team has a conscious competence of the newest and most powerful medium: the internet (see below). McCain is going to be crushed.
This is a candidate that understands my generation, my technologies, and is of my world view. Fuck yeah I’m voting for Obama.
