Why Obama is Important.
I watched Gov. Dean’s campaign from a distance in 2003 and realized
that Senator Obama was take two this year. The use of the internet to
get people together and raise money was the big thing in Gov Dean’s
campaign. It was like watching the Wright Brothers build a plane.
Senator Obama is now attempting a moon landing.
He gets it. Web politics PLUS caucus smarts on the ground. Gov Dean didn’t get this. The Clintons do well in big states where TV is king. But this top-down approach is not enough. That’s why they are going to lose.
Now it’s getting dirty.But after Senator Obama wins the nomination and then defeats McCain
in November. He has to think about governing with the internet.
Get two million Americans to e-mail their congress people and tell
them WE WANT HEALTH CARE. This is going to smash the six hundred
lobbyists who are blocking this. Use TV and the internet to FORCE
CHANGE.
Senator Obama like myself has a global vision. Not unlike JFK. The next step is to invite the world to an e-talk.
One step at a time.

But - he's not above listening to hoe his plan can be enhanced- and that makes all the difference.
