New vs. Traditional media is apples and oranges, Cybersecurity advice for the next President, DNC responds to "Democrats Praising McCain" ad, McCain offers prizes to spammers and realizes his recent YouTube dominance, and the #dontgo Twitter debate continues...

Citizen-journalists chosen by Decision '08, contest for "Why are you a Democrat/Republican," what do pollworkers of the 21st Century look like?, fears of security threats at the Democratic National Convention, Twitter scandal erupts over fake "speakerpelosi" account, and coded messages directed at Evangelicals in John McCain's "The One" ad.

BlogHer interviews Barack Obama; a literary deconstruction of an anti-Obama smear; Brave New Films hits McCain with another biting video; blowback from the DNCC's choices for credentialed state bloggers; get your Jews For Jews Against "Jews For Obama" t-shirts now!; tracking the Democratic veepstakes on Technorati; McCainPedia claims to be a wiki. It isn't; and The Road to Victory goes behind the scenes in all 33 Democratic Senate races.

Edwards endorses Obama, and we first found out about it on Twitter, of course; where was Elizabeth Edwards last night?; Edwards takes advantage of the renewed media glare to promote his own project; Edwards for AG? Maybe. VP? Don't bet on it; Sarah Stirland on the guy who produced the viral Obama smear video; Dean announces the DNC's "State Blogger Corps"; Marc Ambinder on Obama's understanding of the web; and Obama wields an iPhone. Is that thing a 3G model?

So the winners in NH or Clinton and McCain, much to everyone's surprise. Mike Connery has an excellent explanation for Clinton's success among young voters; Jeff Jarvis wonders if Obama could be the first candidate elected by the Internet; Todd Zeigler reviews Obama's revamped site design, and likes what he sees; Jose Antonio Vargas investigates the netroots' tepid support for Obama; Hillary Clinton suddenly voices support for government bloggers and transparency; and the RNC and DNC post stale responses to last night's victories.

Getting ready for tonight's CNN/YouTube debate; it's good to see all of the Republicans participating, and the introduction of user-submitted videos is a welcome change, but we're still wishing it involved the public in the question selection process; debate executive producer David Borhman continues to be skeptical of allowing the pubic to choose the questions; UStream is becoming a significant player in online political video; James Kotecki takes a bath, guest curates YouTube's front page; the DNC announces a new video library of Republican campaign appearances; John Edwards launches a new anti-lobbyist project; and Hillary and Barack both teach their supporters how to caucus.
