the first campaign

the caucus results from iowa yesterday were a pretty historical event, and i would like to take this opportunity to suggest a great new book written by a close friend of mine, garrett graff, that is very a-propos to the success of barack obama (and to a lesser extent ron paul as well).

obama has seized the moment of this first election in the information age in order to increase fundraising and awareness of his own campaign to a much greater extent than any other of the politicians in this year's field.

here is an amazon.com link to this very reasonably priced book, 'the first campaign.' in case you want to learn more about my buddy garrett, here is a link to an hour-long interview he had yesterday on the diane rehm show.

NOTE: georgie's admiration for obama's realization of the importance of the internet does not necessarily mean that georgie supports obama to be the next president of the united states. . .
