I'm sure if you've been following the US primaries you've felt it. Something's missing from the elections. Sure, they've tried to do new things and to reach new voters but if you look a little bit deeper it's the same as it's always been. Vindictive news orgs. picking sides, mud slinging, sucking up to the big guys and putting the muscle on the little guys. Take the Teamsters. They're behind Obama now... but only after he pulled out in front and Clinton started her violent twitching death throes. Even with all the hype about this being the first "internet presidential race" it only really ended up being Facebook and MySpace that cared and after Obama muscled out a MySpacer that was running a fan group for him it became pretty clear that the candidates weren't ready to let the internet do its thing. Besides, who the hell ever used MyBarackObama.com or
TheHillaryIKnow.com?

No, all that slime and shade are still there, so why does it still feel empty....

THAT'S IT!! Where has Nader been all this time! I can't wait to hear what huge corporate monolith he's going to bitch on this time and look forward to hating him when he costs the democrats the election again. Keep fighting the good fight Ralph!
