BarlowFriendz: The Counter-Revolution Has Been Televised
Topic: Politics and Law 9:30 am EST, Jan 29, 2004

] If Dean could actually raise enough money online to match
] in aggregate the much larger and fewer donations Bush has
] bought from the plutocrats with his tax cuts, it would
] shake the system to its rotten core. Worse, if
] information from the Web and the Blogosphere were to
] start defining enough personal realities to contest the
] great mass of tube-zombies at the polls, the gazillions
] presently spent on television campaign ads would start to
] wither. An enormous amount of power and money might be at
] stake.

Barlow's argument is similar to one I offered Rattle after Iowa: that the Dems have lost the election because doing so is preferable to loosing control of their party to Dean's new infrastructure. Rattle countered that he thought Dean might have intentionally flamed out and is in the process of handing the infrastructure he built off to the old heart of the party. I'm still not sure which one of us is right.
