NY Magazine’s John Heilemann framed the role of the Internet in the 2008 election perfectly at a forum yesterday in San Francisco:
The session jumped right off with Heilemann saying the Internet played a disruptive role in the 2008 election in the same way television played a disruptive role in the 1960 election of John F. Kennedy to president. Neither medium was new in the respective elections, but both “came of age” and swung the election towards the winning candidate.
