Democrats in the Internet Age

On the way to work this morning it struck me that the Democrats haven't yet had to govern in the Internet Age. Blogs were in their infancy when Bill Clinton left office, and few people even had web access the last time the Democrats controlled Congress. It will be very interesting to see how they perform with the spotlight on them in a way they've never experienced. Maybe they will have learned from some of the Republicans mistakes, but my intuition tells me that they'll make a few of their own before they begin to comprehend how much more difficult leading in the present is than was leading in the past.
