"Barack Obama is about to make one of the most important decisions of this campaign — choosing a running mate," Obama campaign manager David Plouffe wrote in an e-mail to supporters Sunday night. "You have helped build this movement from the bottom up, and Barack wants you to be the first to know his choice."

Anyway, I was just pondering the Obama campaign's masterful use of the grassroots movement, the internet, and the youth vote. I don't think I have ever seen any politician in any country mobilize the populace the way that Obama has done in the US. Kind of inspiring, almost makes me want to be a politician.
Note: I realize that there is a US election thread already. Thought this might get buried in there and is worthy of discussion on its own. Mods feel free to delete or move at your discretion.
