7. We can be our own media and inject our concerns directly into the debate.

Some things haven’t changed (yet)
1. The media narrative is still dominated by the horserace (bloggers obsess about it too).

2. Candidates still avoid issues (as do their websites).

3. Voters are wanted by campaigns for their money and their time … but not their input.
