The last one hundred years of political communication in America has had two watershed moments. The first was the coming of television into the process. Those that heard Nixon debate Kennedy on the radio thought that Nixon had won easily.

Those that saw the event on television made Kennedy President.

We are living through the second moment as the two worlds of modern politics collide.
And it's come as a shock to legacy operatives who were born, and raised and lived and won elections in a world that is flat out gone.

Not just altered, or different, but gone gone.

The ultimate impact of new media, blogs and YouTube, instant messaging and BlogTalkRadio, is a complete destruction of traditional roles and functions of the political process - not to mention the removal of media barriers that once shielded politicians. ...............
