Personal Democracy Forum – Internet Politics 2004: The Good, The Bad and the Unknown

Classical and Jazz: First, the Internet can help campaign organizers do better some of the core tasks of campaigning, such as fundraising, communicating with supporters, coordinating events in the field, organizing crowds in fast-breaking situations, and reacting quickly to breaking news. The Internet works best in a situation where it’s combined with, and used to leverage, the most important traditional, often face-to-face, political activities. This attribute is part of the beauty and power of the Meetup and MoveOn models. The extraordinary impact of online fundraising, particularly in terms of attracting funds from smaller-dollar donors – from the McCain campaign in 2000 to the Howard Dean primary campaign and the Kerry-Edwards campaign in 2004 – makes this point clearly. Likewise, this idea – that the best model is not a pure-play Internet strategy but rather a combination of “classical” campaign tactics with the “jazz” of these new Internet-enabled activities – helps explain the Bush campaign’s victory in this cycle.
