Important Campaign Update

BY | Tuesday, November 13 2007 

Thank you so much. I just got an update from Luis and the rest
of the campaign staff. As of 8:59 am this morning, we had raised
$505,487, reaching our $500,000 goal 4 days early!

Now I have a question for you -- Can we keep this going?

You can literally feel the energy the campaign is creating in
Iowa. Crowds at events are bigger than they were even 3 weeks
ago, volunteers are showing up in droves at every campaign
office, and we're seeing supporters leave other candidates to
join us as we gain traction. Iowans who understand this process
know we're scaring a lot of other campaigns right now.

This is the final 7 week push and we can't let up now. I
understand you haven't made an online contribution yet, but I'm
asking you to help me keep the pressure on and shock the world
on January 3rd.

Will you give $10, $15 or $25 today and join the thousands of
other supporters who made their first contribution to the
campaign this week?

Something special is happening in this election and I need your
help to help keep it going. Please stand with me today as we
make the final push into
2008.

Thank you,

Joe Biden

Mittbucks.com Lets Voters Compare Their Paychecks With Romney's

What Twitter Won't Tell You About the Election

A new study released on Tuesday by the Pew Research Center for the People & the Press on Tuesday offers the opportunity to get real about what the political conversation on Twitter and Facebook can — or can't — tell you about the progression of the 2012 political campaign. Pew has found that even among users of Twitter and Facebook, a paltry percentage of people use social networks to get news about politics: Only 24 percent of Twitter users in the sample and 25 percent of Facebook users said they "sometimes" got campaign news through that network, while a full 40 percent of Twitter users in the sample and 46 percent of other social media users reported "never" getting campaign news through either Twitter or Facebook.

Pete Hoekstra's Campaign Website's "Offensive" Source Code Changed After Outcry

As if "chop suey fonts" and obvious graphic allusions to the stereotype of the Chinese as the Yellow Peril weren't controversial enough, the group that created an incendiary microsite for former Rep. Pete Hoekstra's campaign has managed to further fan the flames with what it's calling a mistake in its code. GO

Fidel Castro Loves the Internet

“The Internet is a revolutionary instrument that permits the receiving and transmission of ideas, in both directions, that is something we should know how to use,” Fidel Castro told a crowd of supporters on Feb. 4, according to the state-owned Cuban newspaper Granma International. Castro, who made his first public appearance since April 2011, launched his two-volume memoir, “Guerilla of Time,” and took the opportunity to discuss issues of importance to him. Earlier this week, Miranda Neubauer reported that one of these topics was the need for the Internet. Castro has been a proponent of the Internet as a tool for the exchange of ideas since 2003, but the average Cuban citizen faces great difficulty getting online. GO
