He has taken a technology already used in past elections to the next level, without a doubt. His opponent didn't. The big game changer for Obama was his "changing his mind" on public financing. After first saying he would take public financing, his switch to not do so, allowed him to exploit the power and cash spigot of Web 2.0. Again, McCain chose not to. Ka-ching versus Ka-thunk. The true irony of all this, is the inability of Web 2.0 for even the most determined of sleuths, to find any substantative information about Obama's background. All this said, this campaign has marked the end of public financing. Obama has proved once and for all, the incredible cash gusher it can be.
