It seems that the Web 2.0 professionals see the election in a way that supports my blog of a few days ago. The Web 2.0 Summit is a wrap. What most interested me was a report from the conference published yesteday in Infomation Week. I was especially appreciative of Ariana Huffington’s observation, “The McCain campaign didn’t have a clue. The Internet has killed Karl Rove politics.” Well, AMEN! In my opinion, it’s about time. The effects of online fundraising and social media were critical, but one shouldn’t underestimate wonderful resources like FactCheck.org and other politcal Web sites like, my favorite, Electoral-Vote.com.
