On October 14th I'll be speaking on a panel at the National Press Club about how mobile technology has changed this year's election. Today thanks to TechPresident.com I was made aware of this post by Ed Cone who looks at how texts and Twitter might make a difference on Election Day ... that is if they work.

This is a cool idea from the McCain campaign. Put together a video about the media's love affair with Obama. Put two different soundtracks to it and let the people vote. It's pretty darn good. I voted for option one, but both are below. To vote go here: http://www.johnmccain.com/video/love.htm

Thanks to Mario who sent me this awesome internet fundraising initiative by a guy running for state senate in Kansas. This is the kind of ideas more folks need to be doing. http://seantevis.com/kansas/3000/running-for-office-xkcd-style/

A co-worker just pointed me to a great story by former West Wing writer Lawrence O’Donnell Jr. playing out in movie/West Wing style how the Dems convention may go this summer when Hillary and Obama show up w/o enough delegates to win.
