...technology, let their party fall behind the nerd curve as Howard Dean and later John Kerry revolutionized and then exploited online fund-raising in 2004. Four years later, the Democrats have widened that gap, using the Internet not only to raise cash but also to organize canvassers and plot get-out-the-vote efforts. Republicans say the Democrats' Web advantage is due to not just greater enthusiasm but also smarter strategies. "Everything Obama does is fundamentally about a people-powered democracy and apeople-powered campaign," says Mindy Finn, a Republican consultant who ran Mitt Romney's Internet operation. "McCain...

Although Jones plays the main character, her static performance serves...
...does one describe Björk’s music video for her single “Wanderlust” in words that are commonly used in the English language? Ridiculous, pretentious, and just plain weird come to mind, though none of those actually describe the plot of this travesty. Allow me to do my best. The video, presented in stereoscopic 3D, opens with a creature—best described as the bastard child of a yak and a mastodon—lapping from a stream. There is, in fact, a herd of these creatures, and Bj?...
