Andrew Yang? Apparently some folks on here aren't that familiar with the delegate selection process. Harris is a great buy right now.

Organizational strength, experience, history, party bonafides, quality of campaign, ability to count delegates, money. Need I continue?

Barry Goldwater, I'd say. Ike was anointed. Reagan had run twice previously and had become more acceptable.

Who's the last nominee who was anti-establishment and not anticipated as the nominee?

It appears that the latest polls rather than more reliable predictors are driving this site.

There doesn't seem to be a great deal of understanding on here about how the nomination process actually works.

Re: Who Will Actually Fix The ACA-- Thom Tillis (R-NC) Or Rick Weiland (D-SD)?

Great post showing the striking difference between the candidates who actually want to make health care work for everyone in our country - namely Rick Weiland of South Dakota - and the Republicans. I found your piece on http://flyoverwire.com which is covering the South Dakota Senate race.

Can we agree that turning the trial lawyers loose on the ratings agencies is NOT the solution?

Re: Is it time to reconsider Google Buzz vs Facebook or Twitter?

MikeChapman — Sun, 13 Jun 2010 09:27:09 -0000

Nice post. For me, Buzz is my solid number three with Twitter first, Facebook second. I'm a huge Gmail and Google profile fan, so keeping the Buzz account going isn't a problem. I maintain a LinkedIn account too. I'm keen on the SEO potential and, while certainly not a power user like you, want to be positioned for the benefits later. Mainly, I like the more geekish, international, and eclectic crowd on Buzz. It kind of reminds me of social networking a few years back before the celebrities came along.

There may one day be government intervention, but one case won't create the momentum needed to push a measure through a legislature or Congress. Imagine the education process that would be required.. If there were economic damages in this case, then @RayS has a court system at his disposal and can always write his Congressman in the meantime.

If something like this happens to an important elected official in the middle of a hotly contested campaign, then watch out!

OK, I'll work on an alternative to the Tevas. :) Great article, and very flattering. Thank you.

Re: Facebook's Culture Problem May Be Fatal

MikeChapman — Thu, 27 May 2010 09:25:54 -0000

It's tempting to start predicting the demise of the world's largest online social network just after it also becomes the worlds most visited website, but just a tad premature. Facebook has become part of the mainstream. It's drawing the same kinds of people who watch television shows that are written to help you forget your day. If Facebook prohibited Farmville and the other games that are being played to help provide an alternative to the tough realities of daily living, then Facebook would be in trouble.

I don't want to imply that there might be an ivory tower analysis taking place here, but I guess I just did. So relax, enjoy, and wait for the next innovation in online social networking to emerge. It's out there somewhere and that is the only real threat to Facebook's future.

I agree with your assessment completely about the importance of this group, and any similar group, of humans with real concerns, who exist in large numbers and who have specific needs and concerns. The beauty of social media is that it can actually be relevant to even small groups. This is a big one and an important one. Great work.
