Of course politicians don't want to engage with people via online social media. Delivering their pre-packaged messages with scripted speeches or even Twitter feeds that resemble ticker headlines are much easier than opening an issue up for discussion. It's disappointing but true that collaborative critical discussion seems to play a very small role in the election process. </p>jillbuchnerSun, 28 Sep 2008 14:14:54 -0000
