Power of the internet

"In a dim editing room, two video snippets of Republican presidential hopeful John McCain fill the monitors. In the first, he says same-sex marriage should be allowed. In the second, he says it should be illegal.

The contradictory clips are the result of an Internet search, carried on by filmmaker Robert Greenwald and his production team in Culver City, Calif., for damaging video of the Arizona senator. Greenwald, the producer of scathing documentaries about Fox News and Wal-Mart, hopes to shatter the Arizona senator's image as a straight-talking maverick." (LA Times, by Michael Finnegan)

The internet is a powerful tool. I can't believe some of the Lieberman videos being posted on My Left Nutmeg and Spazeboy this weekend. Long story, short, this past weekend Lieberman made clear that Iraq may be the single deciding factor in casting his Presidential vote in 2008. But last summer, he slammed Lamont for being a "one issue candidate."

Ouch. The internet may be making and breaking even more political careers besides George Allen's.
