This years election will be influenced by the internet more than ever before.
One of the ways it will be influenced, is by the candidates supporters, circulating emails. And because these are not officially sanctioned by the parties, candidates or campaign committees, they are no holds barred.

During the primaries, probably 80% were vicious attacks of Hillary, and the rest evenly divided less vicious jabs at Obama & McCain.
Now they are mostly anti-Obama, like this one I got today.

I usually just delete these emails, unless they are particularly funny and not mean spirited, but those are rare as hen's teeth.
I have to wonder if all this activity is just ordinary citizens doing their thing in support of their chosen candidate, or is it more organized than that?
