Dean Doings

I'm briefly catching up on Slate during a reference hour. Here's an article on Howard Dean and his use of the Internet for his campaign. It's an interesting phenomenon that I've been watching from afar. I've got my Meetup logon, and get the emails, but I don't seem to have time to join the frenzy. The article discusses the internet momentum peetering out, or going in a different direction. I wonder if the participants aren't victims of short attention spans--would they have the stamina to carry it through to election time? Time will tell.

[Am interested in the link from the Slate article to the Borg--haven't had a chance to read it yet, but I'm piqued]
