"[...] declassifying the blog form and even the Internet as a whole as an information tool is the classic mistake made by those who do not fully experience the Internet. Blogs are not just a tool for information and denunciation. Blogs can be (and not from today) a place of politics. Not of political chatter, of theatrics, of gossip or of the perpetual lamenting of the rain-government-thief. Blogs have been a place for the aggregation of ideas and consensus, for real politics, for at least four years. That is, since a gentleman called Howard Dean and a web movement called Move On managed to raise something like seventy-eight million dollars in a few weeks to allow the former governor of Vermont to challenge the classic old Boston senator John Kerry in Heinz in the Democratic Party primaries for the 2004 US presidential elections. That model, which led Dean first to make Kerry tremble for the nomination and now to lead the organizational machine of the American Democratic Party, told the world that the web was something more than an information tool. It was an epochal novelty capable of transforming an unknown gentleman into a credible contender for the presidency of the greatest superpower on the planet."
