Topic of the Day: Communication during the campaign
Posted 12 weeks 3 days ago byPolitical junkies waiting to hear who Obama chooses as his veep aren't sitting by the television, radio or computer. Rather, they're keeping cell phones in hand, looking for a text from the junior senator from Illinois.
What's the significance of changing the medium that Obama's campaign is sending its messages? Does this represent campaigns cutting out the professional media middlemen; you can get announcements directly, without having them filtered through reporters, their editors and publications.
Communication between politicians and the public has changed immensely in the last election cycle. This blog is proof of that. But the question is how has it changed?

Its a political ploy
Submitted on August 22nd, 2008 by PabloA very good political ploy to get litterally millions of numbers that they can text to death to promote Obama for president.
This tactic is rather smart but I will tell you straight, Obama did not think of it! But the DNC is milking it for all its worth to get as many people to sign up with text and email notice to get the VP sentence.
So all these people will be spamed to death before November vote in an all out Obama blitz.
These are very great questions, Ike.

Under what rationale can one who believes in freedom argue "oh no, it is not". It is mostly gut feelings of vague unknown futures that are very queasy on this fast evolving capability.
It's not just the 'professional media middlemen' who feel nervous or threatened by this. It's not just the official governments at all level are jeopardized by this ... potential tool of revolution and chaos. But, God, the same ones will be forced to use it more and more. Connect directly with the people. Hooray! Hooray!
It is far too late to say beware. They have us, they own us, but we volunteered.
