News 8 Austin Covers Dean Visit

By Anonymous -
News 8 Austin had a reporter covering the Dean visit to Texas. You can visit the website and watch the video coverage of the report. As always, there was a focus on how the campaign is revolutionizing politics with techonology:
"The Internet is critical to us. You know you've got a lot of more conservative media than you used to have and they are all pulling for the Republicans, but we can get around this through the Internet and through direct talking to people like this,” Dean said.

Camera crews are following Dean and capturing all his speeches and rallies. Then, they will be played in their entirety on the Web site. Another link on the site called meetup.com allows Dean supporters to meet up with each other in their own cities and towns to help with organizing the campaign and help get the word out.

It's old-time, grassroots politics using new technology.

Like perhaps most readers of this site, I'm not a fan of the Bush Administration. Last year I devoted a goodly portion of my life to ousting it, including a trip to freezing cold Cedar Rapids and Waterloo, Iowa, where I canvassed for the Dean Campaign in the runup to the caucuses. I admit that I lost faith in the Dean movement after that, and I floundered around a bit in trying to figure out who to support, eventually setting upon Johnny Sunshine Edwards (or was it Clark?). I have never been a big fan of John Kerry, to say the least. It's tempting to fall into cynical sniping, which I myself have done at times. But I find it dispiriting and ultimately corro
