The NY Times has a cool story about how different "freelance" groups  
are using the web to get out their message and the difference these  
videos are making. The downside of the story is, this piece still has  
the storyline of the gee-wiz this is so new and the internet is just  
now a player in the political process, forgetting that in 2004 the  
internet caused the rise of Dean, MoveOn's Bush in :60 seconds and  
Kerry's ability to stay competitive with Bush in money raised. In  
2006, webvideo led to the biggest upsets including Ned Lamont beating  
Joe Lieberman in the Dem primary and the loss of two GOP seats that  
were deemed certain to stay Republican: Virginia and Montana.

Nevertheless, it's a good read.
