Youtube's impact on politics

The Tennessean is covering the impact of online stuff like youtube.com in the political world. The article is profound--it quotes, a "Brentwood attorney, blogger and political junkie" who's feeling some love from the deadtree-sphere. I thought the military analogy was cool.

The beauty of the internet is that it removes most barriers to disseminating information. Of course, such a tool or medium can be abused, but the "privacy" mentioned by Vandy Prof. Oppenheimer is--at least in the context of public statements and appearances, trivial in the context of voters knowing about candidates for public office.
