Liberal bloggers are divided about Hillary Clinton's aggressive campaign tactics; maybe Peter Daou is finding success at Daily Kos after all; in a cosmic quest for accurate predictions, Huffpostrology combines polling data and astrology; new widgets from MAPLight let voters track congressional fundraising; Jeff Jarvis catches up with British Conservative leader David Cameron; and Dennis Kucinich drops out.

As Congress considers again a new FISA update, bloggers urge Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton to head back to Washington for the vote; a CREDO campaign to get voters to email Obama and Clinton about the vote allegedly causes Obama's email server to crash; new charts from Matthew Hurst show online buzz for the Republicans and Democrats; more Fred Thompson post-mortems, and a question about why he failed to use the web as promised; EveryBlock is a great new site that helps you find info about your city block; Clinton Internet Director Peter Daou tries out some spin on DailyKos, gets walloped; and two sites compare the candidates' stances on tech and science issues.

A new site does a great job of illustrating the candidates' health care positions; progressive liveblogging during the Michigan primary; the Caucus Calculator is updated for Nevada; why aren't the Republicans using the web to get out the vote in Michigan?; John Edwards once again teams up with Eventful; Dennis Kucinich successfully sues MSNBC, will attend the Nevada debate; and a new report says that most Congressional website are plain awful.

...the results would be as blurry as any other poll of Democratic primary voters (except for the appearance of Congressman Dennis Kucinich bunched alongside Barack Obama, John Edwards and Hillary Clinton in the top four, each hovering a few points above or below 20%). That's only conclusion possible from today's announcement from MoveOn.org Political Action.

Some writers forget that Ron Paul is in fact (partly) responsible for his own fundraising numbers; Huckabee and Kucinich try out their own money bomb schemes; MayorTV inserts urban issues into the race; new websites seek to attract the millenials; the TPM Book Club features former Deaniacs; Steven Levy thinks Hot or Not may have some lessons for electoral voting; and John Edwards releases a "preview" of his upcoming election.

Who will be America's first techPresident? It's time to grade the candidates on their understanding of the power of the internet to transform America's future. We start with the Democratic field...

Democracy for America, the organizing network that grew out of the ashes of the Dean campaign, has announced the results of its "Pulse Poll" on the Democratic presidential race. With more than 150,000 votes cast, the winner is Dennis Kucinich, with 49,000. He did not get the 66% required to get DfA's endorsement, however.

It’s that time again when we take a look at our favorite political videos of the week. Some are produced by the campaigns, some are about the campaigns, and some have nothing to do with the campaigns. But in our estimation, they’ve all struck a socio-political nerve.

As always, we welcome your suggestions. Send them along to techpres AT personaldemocracy DOT com.

Videos after the jump...

Harry Shearer moderates the hysterical silent debate; MySpace and MTV kick off their presidential forum series with John Edwards next week; Marc Cooper heads the Off the Bus team; Bloomberg for Prez supporters organize on Facebook; Newt shows up in Second Life; Hillary Clinton hosts an "interactive" webcast that's not quite interactive; and Dennis Kucinich sports a new website, bringing him firmly in step with the 21st century.

Ron Paul and Mike Gravel are the dark horses of their respective parties. They raise a ruckus during debates and forums, they hold radical positions at odds with their parties' leadership, and they poll very low (Paul polls between one and three percent in all national polls; Gravel polls even lower). Not surprisingly, news coverage of them is scarce. So fired-up, web-savvy voters, tired of gatekeepers failing to mention more than half of debate participants in their post-mortems, are trying to influence media coverage and public opinion in the most straightforward way they know -- by writing and editing Wikipedia entries and Digging sympathetic news articles.
