Yahoo! Election 08 Political Dashboard: The buzz on the Interwebs still misrepresents middle America
What a great travesty we will face in the coming election if Ron Paul is not elected. I mean, that is what I hear. That is what the Internet tells me, so it must be true. Hey, I will admit it, I gave Dr. Paul the thumbs up in the Michigan primary, so I have nothing against him. Yet, my expectations do not seem to rival others elsewhere in the virtual universe. I knew he would not win the nomination. Apparently, though, it was a considerable blow to others. What happened? He was all the rage, a man of change, and a new destiny was upon us. How could the Internet lie? I feel so violated.
Is it really all that shocking, all that troubling to know, that Digg, Reddit, Slashdot, Techmeme, Technorati, Yahoo!, The Daily Kos, World Net Daily, The Huffington Post and even Google do not represent the views of the common man? For those that rip into the news media for the glorification of events and celebrity tripe, I ask, how much more guilty is your favorite online destination? If ever there was proof that you should think for yourself, and not be distracted by the prevailing winds, then this should be it. Can we finally admit it – the buzz on the Interwebs still misrepresents middle America.
The Yahoo! Election 08 Political Dashboard should help convince you of that fact. Fear the buzz.

Is there any reason this had to have been created in Flash? What a waste of a site.
But I do agree with you.
The problem is that there are no activists in the middle. And strangely these are the people electing McCain. Conventional Wisdom is being redefined.
