The Dangers of Net-Centric Campaigning ...

Predictably, when people learn that I'm an "internet guy" -- they are surprised to learn that I STILL believe in running traditional campaigns.

Allah makes a good point, regarding why Fred Thompson better not rely too much on the internet:

I hope I'm not breaking any news here for the Thompson campaign but, er, there really aren't a lot of right-wing blog readers. Strictly speaking, there aren't a lot of left-wing blog readers either, but there are more of them than there are of us and they're vastly superior in fundraising. If Fred's relying on the online grassroots to put him over the top, he may come to find the grass is distressingly thin.
