1.0 link 136400 <![CDATA[The Internet and the Death of Rovian Politics]]> http://www.huffingtonpost.com/arianna-huffington/the-internet-and-the-deat_b_136400.html Age has finally become an issue for John McCain. But the problem isn't the candidate's 72 years; it's the antediluvian approach of his campaign.

McCain is running a textbook Rovian race: fear-based, smear-based, anything goes. But it isn't working. The glitch in the well-oiled machine? The Internet.

"We are witnessing the end of Rovian politics," Eric Schmidt, CEO of Google told me. And YouTube, which Google bought in 2006 for $1.65 billion, is one of the causes of its demise.

Thanks...
