Washington Post has a story about myself, SwampBubbles and how technology is changing the election. It also features an Obama supporter from Akron. Check it out:

I had a great experience. The reporter went to the Palin event with me and we talked a lot over the period of 4 days, with most on Wednesday and off and on until Sunday afternoon. I did not realize that Jose, the reporter, won a Pulitzer for his coverage of the Virgina Tech shooting; I did not realize this until Friday last week. Jose was very professional during the whole experience and it was great to talk about the Internet and how it is changing the campaign and how all of you are helping that. It was too bad the article was not longer because we talked about a ton of stuff. And yes, Pink Slip was even mentioned in the article :) Regardless, I was honored to have the experience. The traditional campaign is changing and I am glad I had an opportunity to talk about it.
This site would not be successful without all of you. Thank you for your help regardless of what side of the fence you fall on. I don't know what the election will be like in 2012, but we will find out together.
Congratulations Chris. Good work, as always.
Here's to the crazy ones, the rebels, the troublemakers, the ones who see things differently -- they're not fond of rules... You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them, but the only thing you can't do is ignore them.

I updated the post above and added some details.
Sometimes when our local leaders are disappointing, we citizens can get some positive press. Believe me, while I am in the article, it is about all of you too because there would be no article without you.
has a similar story although I think the Washington Post article is better.
