A New Open-Source Politics

From this week's issue of Newsweek: "Just as Linux lets users design their own operating systems, so 'netroots' politicos may redesign our nominating system."

"...[S]successful presidents have all skillfully exploited the dominant medium of their times. The Founders were eloquent writers in the age of pamphleteering. Franklin D. Roosevelt restored hope in 1933 by mastering radio. And John F. Kennedy was the first president elected because of his understanding of television.

"Will 2008 bring the first Internet president?"
