To me, you can't compare the presidential campaigns of 2004 to the one
happening now. In 2004 we were in the midst of war. Even though people didn't

I never said anything about ideological biases in the media one way or
another. The major sources of news are, for the most part, conduits for
what they can get. The current series of political strategists for the

I really think it's fantastic that Edwards' campaign had the
forethought to include Rocketboom and Robert Scoble in their campaign
launch activities.
And, I don't knock Rocketboom at all for trying to maximize this high
profile opportunity. I'm a long-time viewer who roots for all the

Defeatism is the acceptance of defeat without struggle. I don't advocate
that. I have never suggested the towel be thrown in. What I have

there's some material about videoblogging in here.
