The ’08 Campaign - Sea Change for Politics as We Know It - NYTimes.com: "It has rewritten the rules on how to reach voters, raise money, organize supporters, manage the news media, track and mold public opinion, and wage — and withstand — political attacks, including many carried by blogs that did not exist four years ago.
