Barack Obama: It was the internet wot won it

Barack Obama: It was the internet wot won it

How many times has the Sun claimed the victory at an election, ie, "The Sun Wot Won It", etc? Last night on Newsnight there was an interesting claim made by Arianna Huffington that two factors are responsible for Barack Obama's victory; first Bush; second the internet.

Then we have Hazel Blears attacking political bloggers...

The Big Question: Is Hazel Blears right to accuse political bloggers of undermining democracy?

And political blogger Bob Piper coming to the rescue...

Is Hazel Blears talking cobblers?

The short answer is YES!

Unity at the Ministry of Truth has joined the affray...

Team Obama's ingenious use of the internet raised the unprecedented sum used for the campaign.

Public appearances and head to head debating won him the landslide victory. He proved to viewers home and abroad he stood head and shoulders above others.

Why am I the only commentator to have the dustbin logo attached ??

2345 - About the dustbin - I explained this in an earlier post... You will see the dustbin against your post because you made the post (others can't see it against your name). I can see it on mine but you can't. It means you are able to delete your comment if you have changed your mind or made a mistake!

2345: Cherrypie has explained the position to you. You did this kind of wind up on the forum, pissing everybody off with your paranoid thinking someone is having a go at you. Not everything is a conspiracy.

Thank you ... colleagues confirm they can see it as well.

John expected to be silenced and was never rude - unliked Mitchell's pa'troll'ers - same ol' attitude problem. They never could provide a rational answer to straightforward questions.

She's a politician. What other language does she speak?
