Re: “internet tsunami”Back on 9/11, news-starved internet users turned to the weblogs and sites like Slashdot because the MSM sites couldn’t keep up with the demand/weren’t delivering the news fast enough.

Well, just look at the comments on “Returns” and “Returns II” (heh!). Seriously, political professionals have always recognized the problem of late voters not voting because they believed the election was “already decided.” It doesn’t happen as much now that they’ve started embargoing exit poll results, but it is a real factor.
