Just a few short weeks ago, Scott Brown’s Republican upset in the race to fill the late Ted Kennedy’s Massachusetts Senate seat had many wondering if the age of liberal internet dominance is over.
Is the GOP gaining an online advantage? Certainly, “the Internet seems to have equipped Brown to catch, collect, and amplify the enthusiasm that grew around his campaign -- both pro-Brown energy, and anti-Coakley, anti-Obama, anti-health care reform (and anti-Republican establishment) sentiment.”
And if the rapid rise of the Tea Party movement is any indication, “increased visibility leads to increased viability.”
Join the PdF Network on Thursday, March 4 as Rob Willington, Scott Brown Web Strategist and Executive Director, RebuildTheParty.com shares how the internet is changing conservative campaigning.
