Small Town Campaigning in the 21st Century
Interesting article in the Atlanta Journal-Constitution (really!) on the ability of Howard Dean's online campaign to reach small-town America. Matt Towery notes that less-populated communities often rely heavily on the Web for entertainment and information, making Dean's blog a useful campaign tool for reaching those voters. Living in Atlanta and working on a university campus, I have a difficult time gauging what is going on outside the Perimeter (or OTP in the local parlance), so I don't really have a strong basis for understanding the full effect of Dean's Internet-based campaign. Still, I think the full effects of this type of campaigning are waiting to be measured (other candidates with campaign blogs clearly aren't using Dean's techniques nearly as effectively).
