US elections: Barack Obama recruits team to tackle web smears

http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2008/jun/10/barackobama.johnmccain

Barack Obama is recruiting senior staff to a new unit which will combat virulent rumour campaigns against him on the internet. By Ewen MacAskill in Washington

Aside from funny jokes about Obama recruiting 4chan, you haven't seen this kind of campaigning in the past--the internet is developing as a mature medium. Republican campaigns have generally been highly out of their element on the 'net (save, obviously, Ron Paul) and it'll be interesting to see how McCain's campaign deals with this, if at all.

You have to admit Obama's campaign is one of THE most organized campaign teams ever.

His campaign's predictions are more accurate than professional ones. They predicted their delegate count to within five delegates in 23 of the 27 primaries.
