Politics & Technology ...

Ad Week has an article about micro-targeting, titled: Why the candidates watch what you buy.

Online Media Daily has a good article titled: "Candidates Click Into Interactive Tactics." Here's an excerpt: "... we have seen a seismic shift in the online world--a transition that took political campaigns and advocacy organizations from a dependence on text-heavy, 'static' Web sites and vaulted them into the dynamic world of blogs and vlogs, RSS feeds and news aggregators, social networks, video and photo-sharing, mashups and video e-mail."

The NY Times reports an effort by liberals to manipulate Google rankings to highlight unfavorable articles about Republicans. It's called, "Google Bombing."

The liberal New Politics Institute is encouraging their readers to "immediately adopt a handful of these new but proven (political) tools." The tools are: buy cable, engage the blogs, use search, and speak in Spanish. Well, I'm encouraging you to learn this stuff, too.
