10. At one time, I would have agreed with you. But the net is becoming a force.

DU has over 133,000 members. Who knows how many they influence? Their friends, families, acquaintances, coworkers, or just some guy they're sitting next to in a bar?

The world is changing as we speak. Right now, the cable "news" stations and hate radio still hold sway. But the world moves more quickly these days. Within a couple of years, the net may be the major source of information for the majority, and Limbaugh and FAUX News will be recognized for the jokes that they are.

I don't know whether it will happen quickly enough to affect this election. But it is coming.
