How Will President Obama Mobilize His Internet Army?

Obama campaign mobilized a powerful Internet organization. Now, observers speculate about how he will continue to use it to help him govern.

Joe the Plumber.


Insofar as the presidential debates are concerned, I feel like they were essentially consistent in nature. All three were wins for Obama. The first two, of course, are already a done deal, with Obama winning handily in the court of public opinion and poll numbers moving strongly in his di… Continue

Hey Diane,

I am proud and honored to be on board!! Thank you so much for your hard work! Let me know if there is anything I can do to help! I know we have a lot of work to do; but I am very optimistic that if we can mobilize, organize, and unite people together a lot can get accomplished. God Bless You...
