Seth Godin on Politics

Really interesting observation on politics and candidates from Seth Godin.


"Thus, as media moves from TV-driven to attention-driven, we're going to see more outliers, more renegades and more angry people driving agendas and getting elected. I figure this will continue until other voices earn enough permission from the electorate to coordinate getting out the vote, communicating through private channels like email and creating tribes of people to spread the word. (And they need to learn not to waste this permission hassling their supporters for money).


Mass media is dying, and it appears that mass politicians are endangered as well."
