Have you gotten a text from either the Obama campaign or McCain campaign today? While McCain campaign hasn't done much on the texting front yet, the thinking has been that Obama will used the millions of mobile numbers he's collected over the last two years to turn out voters today. The question is -- how exactly? If you're getting texts today, from either campaign, let us know about them in the comments. In particular, don't forget to included details on what the messages say, how they seem to be targeting you as a voter, and where in the country you are (or, in some cases, where the texts think you are).

"At this point," writes Colin Delany on techPresident, "the Internet is pretty much done." Our work here is finished! Actually, Colin's talking about the idea that new media campaign staffers' heavy lifting is behind them. But let's play dumb and indeed jump ahead a week to start thinking transition; Will the Huffington Post and its ilk be old news by next Wednesday? That's the question being asked by Advertising Age's Nat Ives. There's evidence indicating that the answer leans "yep;" Forget robocalls, says Salon's Farhad Manjoo. Their efficacy is more rooted in myth than fact. Text messaging is where it's at, argues Farhad, and it's also where Obama and his robust mobile campaign has a huge lead over McCain and his non-existent one.

This is an absolute first and frankly it's f---ing brilliant. The California Democratic Party has a giant electronic billboard up somewhere near a Los Angeles-area rally that Republican VP candidate is doing today that is displaying live text-message questions people are sending in. On top of that, the whole thing is streaming live back onto the web using UStream.tv. Check it out:

The Center for Independent Media's Michigan Messenger is taking some intense GOP heat after a reporter broke the news of a local Republican official's comments that they planned to use foreclosure lists to block Michiganders from voting; The Palin Truth Squad is the new response team assembled by the McCain campaign to "counter recent attacks on Governor Sarah Palin, her family, her friends and her record of accomplishment." And ThePalinTruthSquad.com is most definitely not their online home; How did Robert Greenwald go from a little known filmmaker to the force behind a great many of left-leaning video clips you'll come across on the web?; and much more.

There was little sign of the Obama campaign's vaunted world's largest phone bank at Invesco Field at Mile High on Thursday night, but the campaign did manage to score a few points by asking attendees to whip out their cell phones. According to Obama's Colorado campaign chair Ray Rivera, a contest that asked those at the event to text in a message of support to 62262 (which, naturally, spells "OBAMA" on a standard keypad) net the campaign tens of thousands of cell phone numbers in a matter of a few hours.

Just like 3 million other Americans, I signed up for the Barack Obama campaign's now famous VP announcement text message. But once I received it, albeit at 3AM, what caught my attention was not the Senator's selection of Joe Biden but rather a confirmation that the worlds of technology, media, and politics were merging even faster than I had previously thought. At the end of the short 160 character message was an invitation to watch the Democratic candidates first joint appearance together, “Watch the first Obama-Biden rally live at 3PM ET” not on CNN, NBC, CBS, ABC, PBS, or C-Span but “on www.BarackObama.com”

When it finally arrived, I was disappointed. Barack's team missed an enormous opportunity to communicate personally, to me, from Barack.

Let me explain to you where I'm coming from...

Shortly after 3 AM on the east coast, the long-awaited text message from Barack Obama announcing Joe Biden had finally arrived. But it was something short of letting the cat out of the bag. At 10:50 pm on Friday night, ABC News confirmed that Biden was getting Secret Service protection. The first official confirmation that I could find came from CNN at 12:45 a.m. The promised "be the first to know" text message came a full two hours later.
