Hillary Clinton's Bosnia Story A Hit On YouTube!
I read this on HuffPo and it got me thinking.  When all is said and done in this election, and we take a look back at the carnage in the rear-view mirror, one of the biggest stories will be how much the internet and YouTube have changed the face of politics.  I think the phenomenon of Barack Obama is evidence enough of that fact, but it's the implication of this new facet of politics that is really jazzing my nibs.
Politicians are going to have to be more accountable to the American public than ever before.  That means they are going to have to make fewer mistakes - lie, cheat and steal less often and run cleaner campaigns.  2 million people and counting are watching Hillary Clinton blatantly lie about the facts on which she has based her entire candidacy, and it's going to take her out of this race (maybe sooner than we think).
The internet is the next evolution in our democracy and it's allowing us to hold our leaders to a much higher standard. I think Barack Obama is just a better candidate than Hillary Clinton, and we are actually coming to a consensus about that thanks to the power of YouTube. Lest we forget how improbable Barack Obama's success was given how the deck was stacked against him just 3 months ago.
Darwin himself would be proud that our technology is allowing us to evolve at such an exponential rate.
Anyone coming with me on this very optimistic (and O'biased) analysis?
