David Meerman Scott: One of the things that has been so interesting to me over the last couple of years is focusing on the marketing aspects of the US Presidential Election. As we’re recording this right now we are a couple of months out from the November election here in the United States and it’s been fascinating to watch the differences in the ways that the two candidates and the two campaigns have been, or have been not, using social media.

Barack Obama and his campaign seem to be really embracing the ideas of social media, where as John McCain less so. In fact John McCain prides himself on not being a user of a computer, which is kind of interesting to me. However Barack Obama is the complete opposite and a specific thing that Obama did that is so fascinating is that he realises that there’s communities out there of people who are interested in what he is doing and want to follow him using the tools of social media. So in one case he’s got Twitter feed and what he does is he alerts his supporters who subscribe to his Twitter feed about his whereabouts and what he’s doing.

And I found it fascinating that when he announced his candidate for vice president, what he did is he first alerted people on Twitter and other networks as well and his email list and said ‘I’m going to be announcing my candidate for vice president first, to you, my supporters through Twitter and through email and through our site before I even alert the media’. And it was interesting because I was on vacation at the time and I was on my computer and Bang! there’s an announcement from Barack Obama that he …

This news item is a shocking story about how the US government is killing it’s own soldiers, by giving them shot of a vaccine that is causing severe reactions and illnesses.
How can any civilised government do this to it’s own people.
Just imagine the horror they are inflicting upon the people of Iraq.

A US campaign watchdog has accused presumptive Republican president nominee John McCain of violating election laws by accepting campaign contributions from two prominent Londoners.

At issue is a fundraising luncheon held in March at London’s Spencer House, during McCain’s swing through the United Kingdom. An invitation to the event lists Lord Rothschild and Nathaniel Rothschild as hosts, and indicates the event was made possible with their “kind permission”.

Judicial Watch, a Washington organisation instrumental in the March release of Hillary Clinton’s White House schedules, has asked US election monitors to investigate whether the Rothschilds improperly sponsored the fundraiser. US political campaigns are forbidden from accepting contributions from foreign nationals.

“The question is whether or not the Rothschilds paid for the event, the venue, the catering, or any other related costs,” said Judicial Watch president Tom Fitton.

Tickets to the event cost ,000 to ,300, and the luncheon dress code was “lounge suits,” the Washington Post reported in March.

The McCain campaign did not immediately return a call seeking comment.

Judicial Watch also complained to the US election authority, the federal election commission, about Elton John’s involvement in Clinton’s campaign. The group alleged the British rocker broke US campaign laws by performing at a fundraiser for the New York senator. The Clinton campaign argued US law allowed the British musician to volunteer his time and solicit Americans for contributions.

The federal election commission is unlikely to act soon on the group’s McCain complaint. It is currently short-handed, a result of a political squabble between the Democratic-led senate and the Bush administration, and lacks a quorum to take action.

When a federal grand jury indicted David Kernell of a felony for allegedly hacking into Sarah Palin’s email account, Fox News was ready to presume him guilty despite his presumption of innocence and the problems with the charge against him as I explain in this video.
