Hers was a campaign....his was a movement. I've got a whole chapter on this in my new book mate which will be published in September. please reveiew kindly!

With 32m more raised than Clinton, looks like it is working.

UK politicians have been watching this for years but only seem to see the web as about gimmicks as they fear letting go, something which Dean had to do as an outsider, with phenomenal results and Obama and Clinton learned from. Things are changing a bit here, particularly with Gordon's recent YouTube (not Flickr) experiment and Brian Paddick using Jerome Armstrong. I blog regularly on this stuff for any anoraks that are interested but you might want to look at this particular post http://pr-media-blog.co.uk/did-jerome-armstrong-have-an-impact-on-paddicks-mayoral-campaign/ it was a good piece but its a phenomenon thats been discussed since the last US elections in 2004, particularly re the Howard Dean/Joe Trippi campaign.

Have you seen how many Twitter followers compared to her? From the digital natives' perspective, it might paint the picture that Obama is wildly more successful than Clinton, but when it comes down to the people who will actually vote, I'm thinking she has the edge. However, I also think that this will be the last election where that will be the case. Case in point of why us youngins’ are flocking to Obama instead of Clinton.
