Tools may be transforming campaigns but until there are viable alternatives to the Republicrats (not likely in my lifetime given the way campaigns are currently financed), the business of government in America will continue on as is, unimpeded by the will of the people. It's like regifting at Christmas - same crappy present, different wrapping paper.

I read the headline and feared your were being converted to a portable document format. I don't think that's good for one's overall health.
