[Air-L] obama's 'web magic'

[Heidelberg, Chris]

I think it is both! He was arguably the first U.S. Senator or member to
podcast and blog on iTunes before everyone else got on board, so I am
not surprised about how well his social networking is doing. Think for a
moment, his core constituents are young, tech savvy and highly educated
individuals, not African Americans who just really got on board after
Bob Johnson, The Clintons and other African American politicians made
ill-advised statements that were full of code words which African
Americans and more importantly his core constituents rejected. This
election will provide some of the most far-reaching years for new media
and political research.

check out this CNN report on 'Obama's Web Magic'...is this really how
web 2.0 is being perceived by the average american, or is this presenter
just amazingly thick in the head?
