broadband democracy

With the reelection of Bush II, we saw large voter turnout. In the same thread as an insurgency gone broadband the voting public went high-speed to the polls. I believe the internet has changed and is changing politics in ways we do not even fully realize. With easy access to large amounts of information or misinformation, however one looks at it, political themes are jockeyed about online with vigor unseen to date. Will this change politics for the good? I hope so. I am chewing on one optimistic thought within a gumball full of future poor Bush policy decisions. America will maintain hegemony for a while, with a halt coming soon.
