There is a fair bit in US politics to dislike, but the adoption of the new campaign tools provided by the Web isn’t among that. I’ve been in awe of the individual campaign sites (though MyBO could do with renaming), national convention sites, and some of the more enlightened media outlets covering the election. Obama’s campaign in particular, seems to be really good at getting out bloggers and web-geeks to promote his message, as well as having a campaign site which focusses on engaging visitors.
Britain certainly has a reasonably good political blogosphere, but with the exception of Iain Dale and Guido, it doesn’t really have the same influence that the American blogosphere seems to have. Whenever the next UK general election is, it will be interesting to see if Britain is just lagging behind in following the rise of the Web in US politics.
