    The internet is the perfect attack line for Obama... most Americans understand (or understand the need for) fast internet. Especially the 'free market' economy, and companies (large & small). It's also a way of growing the economy that hasn't been discussed knowledgeably in years (daily show has a great piece on internet gambling 'tubes').

    Obama has shown to be forward thinking in the use of campaign technology, it should also be his attack strategy.
