Zack Exley, who knows a thing or two about Internet campaigning, has a post titled "Don't hire an Internet person." No, he's not suggesting tha campaigns give up on the Internet. On the contrary. Every day, he says, he gets calls asking for recommendations for an Internet person for a campaign.
He concludes: "Everybody knows it's time for a changing of the guard. To stop thinking of yourself as an Internet person is one way to help make it happen." Of course, campaigns still need people with Internet-specific skills, from the technical to the politcal-organizational. The Internet is different and requires people who understand it deeply. But Zack's right to insist that the Net not be treated organizationally as a silo. And that's as true for many businesses as it is for politics. [Tags: zack_exley politics ] Posted

4. No more secret deals for $4 per gallon gas.
5. No more Chicken Hawks promoting wars of choice when they themselves avoided combat.
6. Make government green--if you can't make what you have the most control over green, I don't care about your plans to make the country green.
7. No more torture.
8. No more lying about torture.
9. No more re-defining torture.
10. No more drunken hunting.
