How important is the internet to the election? – The Guardian

    How important is the internet to the election? – The Guardian

    "Matthew McGregor, London director of Blue State Digital, which masterminded Obama's election campaign, said:

    "The mistake is to try and impose political messages from the top down, whereas the internet – and those successful Obama campaigns –worked from the bottom up.

    "It's not just a productionist model where parties control the debate and people obediently do things," he added.

    "The internet provides engagement and amplification of what were previously quite small ripples in that pool.""
