The video below is a great illustration of how changing media is changing politics.

Naysayers will counter that there is nothing new about a video promoting a candidate...and opponents will say there is no substance to this--it's just feel good imagery. Perhaps some will accuse me of a double standard after I blogged in agreement of Al Gore's indictment on the Assault on Reason. But my point is that our culture is changing and we need to understand and embrace it. This video, and the word-of-mouth viral campaign that spread it around show how effective the online channel can be.
