Upstart Runs John Kerry's Internet Campaign
Who's running John Kerry's internet campaign? None other than 34 year old Zack Exley, who back in 1999, started the anti-Bush website, GWBush.com. The LA Times profiles him today.
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.
