Breitbart.tv » Bill Clinton Rule in ‘04: Vote for Candidate of ‘Hope’ Not ‘Fear’
I wonder if this video was circulated by the Obama campaign. I have noticed that Obama's campaign has learned the art of rapid, strategic response. This week, Hillary Clinton mocked the "hope and change" rhetoric of Obama's campaign, and her new TV ad says basically that we should worry about Obama when the "red phone" rings. So now here is a video in sudden, wide circulation of Bill Clinton in 2004, saying (in support of Kerry) that if a candidate mocks hope and change and plays on your fears (by which he meant George W. Bush) you should vote against that candidate. So--net effect: Bill Clinton is being used to undercut Hillary Clinton's current message. Clever.

By the way Mercury News had a an article on Obama's internet campaigning last week, and according to them he just wipes the floor with all other candidates when it comes to internet politics. His site has the largest amount of traffic, his supporters generate the most political content on different political blogs and forums, all his speeches are on youtube instantaneously, he even got facebook profile and facebook support groups! And most of all he gets A LOT of money from thousands of online contributors. Could be because of his appeal to younger, tech savvier generation. Also supports your idea of who is better prepared.
I bet in the next election whoever utilizes Internet the most is gonna take it:)

PS by the way the 25 possible essay questions for 101 exam is a bitch to study for right now. Not complaining, just some personal output...
