[From an interesting interview with Markos Moulitsas of the Daily Kos published today in the BU newspaper web site]
Do you think the Republicans will eventually pick up on the Internet as a fundraising and campaigning tool?
They never really needed it before. They’ve been very good at getting small donations in the past via direct mail. Now direct mail has become obsolete. The people who fill out a check are old and dying off, and my generation — well, I can’t imagine being caught dead writing a check.
I definitely think the Republicans will use the internet as a fundraiser. It’s popular for all ages and the new way of communicating.
