Walk for Change: Politics in the 2000s
A comment left on Senator Barack Obama's You Tube Channel said : I am a Conservative. I do not like change. Life is good the way it is. I smiled wondering why she would be leaving a comment at a website that did not exist two years ago if she truly did not
like change. If she really did not embrace change she would not own a computer or have Internet access. She might write a letter, stamp the envelope and drop it in the mail to tell Senator Obama this personal information about herself. Senator Obama's staff would read the letter and send her a form letter reply. He might get the news that a woman will not be voting for him because she is a Conservative.
In the process of a grueling campaign drive, it is unlikely Obama would see her comment on You Tube either. He seldom visits his Channel. Politics in the 2000s is a big change. In the past, Ms. Conservative might write her local newspaper Editor to tell readers she does not like change. They might even publish it. Other than that her sentiments would be shared with very few people. Politics in the 2000s opens a door to the possibility of thousands of people globally being privy to personal correspondence with political figures. Ms. Conservative may have watched "Barack Walks for Change" to prompt the comment.
Senator Obama is not the only candidate that is promoting change as the theme for their campaign. He does seem to be the only one that inspires people to, well, walk for change. Walking through neighborhoods, knocking on doors to promote candidates or causes is not new in the political world. Creating videos of the walkers and sharing their stories online is. Voter registration is important to Obama. He ran a voter registration drive in 1992 long before the Internet was a household expense. During his campaign speeches he sometimes mentions the number of new voters the 1992 drive registered. He has simply taken his skills and applied his experience to a larger group of people. Ms.Conservative might not like change, but politics in the 2000s is bringing rapid change.
