I was asking Dean about his role as in some ways the founder of what has become known as the netroots:

Candid Camera in John Edwards' House

2008-07-26T02:42:16Z

As Elizabeth Edwards skyped into the Personal Democracy Forum, Senator John Edwards returned home, unaware that his wife was chatting with with hundreds of PDF attendees. After Elizabeth motioned to the Senator and asked him to join her, he made a cameo appearance at the forum, via skype, which was being live webcast.

When asked about the impact the internet has had on the Presidential Race, the Senator responded: "It's completely changed the shape of this race already. It is the only reason that Barack Obama is not taking public financing, because he has a fundraising base that's more grassroots, more small donors that allows him a huge competitive advantage against Bush."

"McCain," corrected Mrs. Edwards.

"John McCain is Aware of the Internet"

2008-06-26T22:14:14Z

That's what McCain's Deputy Internet Director Mark Soohoo said Monday at the Personal Democracy Forum in New York City. This was part of a discussion on "what worked and what didn't" in terms of using the internet to run a presidential campaign. And judging by Soohoo's comment—not to mention the chasm between McCain and Obama when it comes to online fundraising and advertising—it's pretty clear what didn't.

Tracy Russo, John Edwards' chief blogger and Deputy Online Communications Director, didn't miss a beat, likening McCain to someone's grandmother trying to learn these newfangled social networking sites and apply them to governing. Russo's point, of course, is that it is crucial for our next president not simply to be "aware" that the internet exists, but to utilize it as a means of mass communication, education, and unification.

I just returned from PDF, which was wonderful for broadening my perspective on the ways in which we can use new technology and media to advance political goals and empower others looking to get involved. More from PDF throughout the day...
