I'm about as partisan (dem) as they come, but honestly, I love troublemakers and I live for using technology as a form of transparency for our government. I say power to them. I'll definitely report on it for my Monday blog at Wiretapmag.org!

A chunk

You're right - it wasn't "much" of Paul's money, it was more of a "chunk" of his money. As for reporting on Paul's vote totals, there are other good sites that focus on those things. We're more concerned with the effect of the web on politics, and since Paul raised the vast majority of his money online -- which made him very popular on this site for many months -- we felt this item was appropriate.

Ron Paul

You wrote: "Much of the money Ron Paul raised for his campaign via record-breaking money bombs is going to his family members..."

Interesting definition of "much" -- in this case "much" equals less than one-half of one percent of the money Paul raised. Shocking!

How about reporting on Paul's 24% vote total in Idaho and the six delegates he picked up there. You know -- actual news.

Technology, the internet and the election

Speaking of technology and the election. I work for NBC17 in Raleigh, NC and we used ustream.tv to live stream the Obama Town Hall, the url is here: http://www.ustream.tv/recorded/355941. We had over 600 viewers at one time. With the internet and the right tools politicians can reach the world easier and push there voice throughout the internet.

I just purchased a Nokia N95 a few weeks ago and have live streamed a few local tech meetups with it as well. You can see my qik videos here: http://qik.com/waynesutton

It was fun to watch you last night with Scoble and Loic.

I'm adding this blog to my rss feed.

Thanks
