Talkin' about these Internets and their power in elections...
How long have you been using the Internet to discuss politics?

Anyone here remember the Usenet group alt.fan.dan-quayle back when Bush v.1 was running against Clinton? (The "fan" part was always intended as irony and Republicants were always posting complaining about us bashing their faaaaaaaavorite Veep.)

That was my first foray into using the Internet to talk about politics. How far we've come...

2. It was pretty fun...
It was a great group.

I do recall one person getting a secret service visit, after making some threats there, so clearly it was being monitored. :)
