It was all hype
Wow! Check out that stunning youth vote that the internet drove to the polls! I couldn’t help but chuckle at the hype this cycle. Sorry Puff Daddy/MTV/RockTheVote, the kids didn’t buy it. Not all young people are that easy to train (besides the ones that bought Ashlee Simpson’s CD…).
Besides GW winning, the GOP keept the Senate and the House. A great day all around.
I think the history books will be looking at the role of participatory journalism and its failure to really accomplish anything. Sure, there were a lot of page views, money raised and curse words uttered… But did it really make a difference? The Dems owned the internet scene and now may not even have a Senate minority leader.
We’ll have a week or two of more media hype, but it should be interesting.
Cold and patronizing.

Praise Jesus for givin’ us W as a President again! I dun care that I’m out of a job, I can’t pay to see a doctor and that my kids are dyin’ over in Iraq. As long as we keep all those fags from corruptin’ society, we keep gunnin’ down those abortion doctors and everyone attends church on Sunday to praise the almighty himself, our country is in good hands!
