On November 4th, 2008, the world will be watching as
the USA decides whether to support Obama or McCain. This could be the first
North American election clearly won by a candidate that gets the web and how it
can be used to organize the electorate. Obama's online fund-raising efforts have
provided them with an unprecedented level of grassroots contributions. Blogs,
twitter, youtube, and other Web 2.0 sites have been heavily used in this
campaign. Will it be enough for the Democrats to win? How are the Republicans
with their non-tech savvy candidate responding? And is there information we can
adapt for use here in Canada's electoral system.
