Internet geek becomes king of Kerry's electronic realm
When lawyers for George W. Bush's first presidential campaign filed a federal complaint against the operator of a satirical Web site called GWBush.com, they did more than violate the Internet commandment to ignore obscure critics.

They set in motion a chain of events that is giving Zack Exley a chance to help with the ultimate revenge -- unseating the president.

In April, Exley was named director of Internet organizing for presidential candidate Sen. John F. Kerry, making him the Democrat's field marshal on the technological front in the war for voters.

Exley's unlikely rise from union organizer and small-time software programmer to top campaign operative mirrors the rapidly expanding role of the Internet in politics. More valuable than decades of slogging in the trenches of the major parties is a few years' experience out in the free-form world of the Web -- a realm where the tools of the trade evolve every week and a joke can grab more attention than a thousand position papers.

9. Cheney+Saddam radio ad ? That's great, where is a link to that.
Also got this in the Que to look up, but since you mention this,

"when Cheney was calling Saddam America's worst enemy,
the facts show Saddam was also his best customer"

Do you happen to know of a single link that covers the timeline on this. Don't go to any trouble, just thought you might be able to save
some time on this end.

11. try gwbush.com
;) That's where I downloaded it from...regarding Halliburtons dealings with Saddam thru the 90s via European subsidiary. Also, in the late 90s, Cheney was lobbying the Clinton administration to lift the sanctions on Iraq.

http://www.metroactive.com/papers/metro/08.19.99/cover/domains1-9933.html

Pretty cool when the guys who run these sites get up into the Party hierarchy.

14. Zack was a "no difference"er in 2000. Glad he made it back
