New media in political campaigning

For anyone interested in the "new media" and politics, this should be an interesting show to catch. While you're there, take some time to take a look around Steven Clift's site Dowire.org:

"If you are interested in democracy online - including politics online, new media, e-governance, e-government, online advocacy and activism, citizen e-participation and related topics, then join us.

Each week, well known e-democracy expert and speaker Steven Clift posts/forwards, with occasional analysis, carefully selected messages. Posts include news, article, and report web links, event and conference announcements, calls for papers, and often uncover important "primary source" online resources, projects, and initiatives of significance."

Steven was just recently appointed an Ashoka Fellow in the field of Civic Engagement.
