"President Kerry may e-mail out
to three or four million Americans
that he's placed a health care plan
before Congress and he wants them
to push members to do what needs to
be done. It's a way the president can
build an army to help him pass it.
The thing Congress understands is
lots of people and lots of money. The
people aren't (currently) involved
because the president has no direct
way of asking them to get involved,"
Trippi said.
The Internet showed its power with
the Dean campaign and was subse-
quently used by Bush, Kerry and less-
er knowns like Foley and Mordecai.
But will the Internet be a bigger
revolution in politics than television
was half a century ago?
"Definitely. Television is a one-way
medium - there's no way of people
interacting, connecting with each
other," Trippi said.
