Please do not read, nor correct, this is merely a draft in a very early stage | | | Now that President Elect Obama achieved his (first) goal, the results of his campaigning is multiple. One big asset is the links and ties he will still be able to make use of to govern (Carr).
He will be able to reach his supporters in an unprecedented manner for a president, allowing him to react quickly and maybe “test the waters” for new ideas, as his administration will get to work. This will probably allow in shift in US politics, and hopefully keep those so involved in his election as interested in national matters as they were during this election. Maybe this bond some of those volunteers felt during the campaign will remain alive, and the change will be even deeper than imagined before? | |

> | This evolution in politics also bears some risks. One possible risk is a direct consequence of voting privacy and confidentiality being one more time left aside for different means. It is possibly a delicate situation when an administration has names of all that encouraged and financed it, and thus of all who did not. What would have happened just 60 years ago if Administrations had such powers. Could such a situation ever arise again? | | |
One final remark is the surprise the reader might have when reading the positions of Vice-President Biden that are summarized in this article. | | | Lewicki D. and Ziaukas, T., The Digital Tea Leaves of Election 2000: The Internet and the Future of Presidential Politics, Dec. | |
