It is helpful to have this kind of first-hand feedback. It sounds like Edwards will need all the support he can get. Colin, Thank you for your very insightful comment.

My first wife was born there. It was a very fun place to visit and work. I had many illuminating conversations with the manager of the very succesful operation there. He told me about all the bribes and favours that he had to facilitate there, just to be considered for work. It was more corrupt than many of the countries that I worked in when I was based in South East Asia. At least he knew who to pay. It is an extremely corrupt place. I am not in the least surprised that many of the "dykes" collapsed. Likely the contractors didn't build them to specification. In addition I think that it is difficult to blame the Federal Government for all of the disasters. The US States are very independent, although this is often ignored. Major players include the Mayor, who did nothing and the State of Louisiana, who didn't do much more. The federal government can't just wade in without their support. So Mr Edwards, Good Luck that is ugly territory you are treading in. I have been to New Orleans a number of times for work. My first wife was born there. It was a very fun place to visit and work.

I would be saddedne if they ended up lisenting to whacko's such as me. I think that may be the difficult bridge to cross for bloggers- too much diversity and not enought quality will put people off. The MSM will then cream the best for themselves. Pleased as I am that the electorate may be influenced by Ellee. I would be saddedne if they ended up lisenting to whacko’s such as me.

I can see both good and bad reasons for the campaign launching in New Orleans. It highlights a point, although it could be said to be in bad taste.

The Democrats have this sewn up, and you have read the Washington Post quote. I would advise that you closely observe the American experience on this as blogging really took off after the previous US presidential election, they are way ahead of us. If you need any help or someone to chat it over with, just ask.

I will give you a bit of an exclusive - in that I am drafting a book on that very subject having left the lucractive lobbying world to go it alone to try to get our MPs to embrace this kind of technology. They currently dont understand just what an impact it could have! The internet is going to have a massive impact on politics and camapagnin.
