SOCIAL MEDIA AND POLITICAL CAMPAIGNS

I've been meaning to post this link for a while. It's an overview of the Huffington Post panel discussion that occured at the Democratic Convention on the impact that new media has had on the '08 Presidential race. While Howard Dean's legacy is unquestionable when it comes to the use of the Internet in politics, many of the new social media channels (Facebook, YouTube, etc.) that have been so prevalent this election were not in existence four years ago.

Enjoy the article.
