The Wall Street Journal's Emily Steel highlights a fascinating example of a seemingly new online tactic we focused on yesterday when it came to DNC's new "Count the Lies" compendium. Let's call it pushback by proxy; "How can graphic designers best support Barack Obama?" That question was the inspiration for a new project that aims to mine the talent of the more artistically-gifted Obama fans among us; Next Friday kicks off the start of the McCain-Obama debates, and Current TV will be trying out a new way of framing the match-ups: overlaying Twitter traffic over the feed; McCain policy advisor Douglas Holtz-Eakin tried making the case this morning that McCain's long-time service on the Senate Commerce Committee gives him tech cred. "He did this," said Holtz-Eakin, holding up his BlackBerry. The "John McCain invented the BlackBerry" joke writes itself, but we're not going to make it; and much, much more.

Young voters are asked to make a tremendous sacrifice: lay off the bottle the night before Election Day; the debate continues over the nature of MoveOn; the RNC goes after Barack Obama on his supposed audacity; 10 Downing Street embraces Twitter with both hands; and more -- more, in fact, than you can shake a stick at.

A new spot from MoveOn that will become MTV's second ever political ad involves jokey references to STDs and a confusing chicken metaphor -- both things that are big hits with the kids!; an activist group spawned online is pioneering in the cable TV space, using a service that brokers tiny slices of airtime for as little as the cost of a sandwich; the RNC riffs off Facebook to shed some negative attention on Barack Obama's "friends," it we ask if the effort is worth it; and a great deal more, my friends, a great deal more.

MoveOn announces the winner of its Obama ad contest; Andrew Sullivan, the web, and the fight against obedience, submission, and authoritarianism; a videoblogger asks, where is Ralph Nader's party and organization?; LisaNova nails a Hillary/Sunset Blvd. impression; Surrender Hillary is popping up across the land; two candidate Twitter feeds aggregate Twitter-chatter about the candidates; and George Bush submits to his first online-only (but not live) interview.

MySpace and NBC team up for mutual back scratching enhanced campaign coverage; Andrew Romano on headline-happy coverage from the campaign trail; MoveOn announces voting on voter-submitted pro-Obama videos; the Obama money bomb bombs; rural Pennsylvanians shopping at Cabela's prefer Obama to Clinton; IT pros on the election; a profile of Clinton's director of online finance and more confusion about voters and ATM machines; and the YouTubing of politics spreads to the London mayoral race.

The HuffPost breaks more news, this time about Hillary's close-door comments; two strategists weigh in on why there's no conservative MoveOn; the perils of Obama's social networking strategy; a million strong Facebookers are united against Hillary; now you too can become Hillary, Barack, or John; and Time tackles the roots of liberal dominance of the web.

Ronald Brownstein says we're in the midst of the first truly 21st century campaign; Eventful goes local; MoveOn petitions against ABC; Ethan Zuckerman and the Berkman crew watch their favorite YouTube videos; the Village Voice links to its (least) favorite conservative bloggers; a poll of online Pennsylvanians shows a bias for Barack; teddy bear versions of the candidates; and George Bush and Gordon Brown trade Twitter secrets.

The quest for the conservative MoveOn continues; Bittergate erupts from a citizen journalist's reporting; Bitter Voters for Obama supports their candidate; a Twitter feed reports every new superdelegate to declare his or her support; what's being reflected in Dick Cheney's sunglasses?; and grading the candidates' use of LinkedIn.

The Letter Wars: MoveOn fights a letter from Clinton donors with their own letter; Political Machine is apparently some sort of game about politics. We're not sure; a conversation about Obama and the "digital presidency" is revived on Slashdot; and Mike Gravel is still in this thing, even if YouTube doesn't think so.

Talk about viral video: a malicious email claiming to link to a Clinton video can actually infect your computer with malware; Danny Glover launches a new site, comes out of the closet; the Blackroots are behind Donna Edwards' win; which Dem has the best poverty agenda?; a strange piece of web art is like a mundane Chuck Norris Facts for Obama; charting the various ways Obama has been winning; McCain reaches out to conservative bloggers; and there's a six-foot-seven-inch Jewish faith healer in the race!
