Elections & the Internet
November 4th, 2008Arianna Huffington, of the Huffington Post, says what I’ve been thinking for awhile:
Okay, all the arguments have been made. And I am ready to declare a winner in the 2008 race.
The Internet. (The other winner will have to wait until Tuesday night).
From the way campaigns connect to supporters, to the way those campaigns are covered, to the way voters decide who to vote for, 2008 has delivered the first truly 21st century presidential race. And election night promises to fortify the Internet’s victory.
The post goes on to link to all the usual suspects — FiveThirtyEight, TalkingPointsMemo – as well as the Google Elections page, which has some great information going on there, including an embeddable map for results.
