In advance of discussions tomorrow with Douglas Rushkoff, this article by Henry Jenkins is worth a read. It explores how Howard Dean and others are using the internet to rewrite the rules of US politics.
And of course, it's worth remembering that we're still just at the beginning of this process. I was at a talk last night by Peter Schwartz to mark the launch of his new book 'Inevitable Surprises', during which he mentioned that only 14% of people in the US have got broadband - far lower than in the UK. So, if the internet is "rewriting the rules" of the US presidential election for 04, what will it mean for our general election in 05?
