An interesting tidbit I heard regarding this US News report on Mitch McConnell's e-campaign:
While many members of Congress failed to be superinnovative on the Web this election cycle, Senator McConnell was interested from the start. While he's known in Washington for using old procedural tricks to trip up the Democratic majority on legislation the GOP opposes, McConnell turns out to be equally masterful with the new tricks of the election trade. "Senator McConnell, when he hired me, stated as a goal that he wanted to run the best Senate campaign in America and he wanted to take advantage of all the latest technologies and methods," Campaign Manager Justin Brasell tells Whispers.
Given the buzz around e-campaigning generated by Obama, US News was looking to find a Republican who did anything significant with the Web. Based on solicited feedback, McConnell was the only name that stood out.
In the most expensive Senate race in Kentucky's history against a mostly self-financed challenger, a race the Democrats wanted very badly to win, McConnell was able to hold on.
If the Web is showing politicians the money, can the rest be far behind?
