Lessons from the Campaign Pressure Cooker (Linux Journal)

Doc Searls reports from the Dean camp, in this Linux Journal article. "During my time with the Dean team, I heard Cluetrain quoted a number of times. There was my "markets are conversations" line and David Weinberger's "hyperlinks subvert hierarchy." But the one that made the most sense for the campaign itself was Chris Locke's "networked markets get smarter faster than most companies". Exactly that principle, they said, applied in electoral politics today. That's why they were building or applying technologies that embraced their own networked markets."

Well, the full result won't be known until next Tuesday. But at the moment Mr. Dean appears to be imploding faster than any front-running candidate in history.

Should another thesis be added to the manifesto? Perhaps "Don't mistake the Internet for reality"? Or even "Don't mistake Cluetrain for reality"?

Doc Searls regularly tosses me for a loop. He says lots of really intelligent things, but then he embraces politics and politicians that neither (fully) embrace what he says, nor act/speak intelligently. Dean is a good example of someone who embraced technology, but not it's implications. I think Doc is devoted to predetermined politics, knows a great deal about the reality of the real world, and lives lost in the limbo that is between.

The thing about Dean I've noticed is that he hasn't (to my knowledge) put a foot down on anything technology-based. No "DMCA is bad", etc. etc.

Maybe someone will correct me, but all I've heard is excuses to date.
