Something wonderful this way comes. This story from Dave Winer telling of the weblog conference at Harvard October 4 includes some powerful stuff: the bloggers are coming out for the Election of 2004. All I can reveal at present is "watch this space".

The 2004 Election
Mon, Aug 11, 2003; by Dave Winer.

We're having a weblog conference at Harvard Law School on October 4.
It's probably the first academic conference on weblogs, but it certainly won't be the last.
We're going to look at how weblog technology will be used in politics, business, journalism, the law, medicine, engineering and education.
Because we're coming into a political year, 2004, when the US will elect a new president, I'm focusing on the role weblogs will play in the campaign.
Candidate schedules
Over the weekend I scanned the candidate websites and put together a list of candidate schedules that say where the candidates are going to be when.

If you want an idea of what the new game looks like, check out the cast of characters in the California recall. Look at all the citizens participating in the electoral process. Everyone told us they don't care. Heh. And even that's just a hint of a glimpse. Government of the people, by the people and for the people, for better or worse, is what's coming. That's my stake in the ground. All this may happen in the next few months.
