A LOOK AT BLOGS AND THE ’08 ELECTION:

Kissing babies? Old hat. Shaking hands? How very 20th century. The 2008 campaign is going to be all about blogging, podcasts and YouTube.

Both Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton announced they were running on the Internet, following the lead of ex-Sen. John Edwards and ex-Iowa Gov. Tom Vilsack.

The road to the White House goes through Cyberspace now.

A recent Pew report found that nearly 20% of voters in the 2004 election relied primarily on the Internet to get their political news. That’s going to soar.

I think that’s right.
