Stealing from Mitt and Giving to Paul

HuffPo has an interesting piece up on how campaigns have changed over the years and one cost of the online presence.

Specifically, the article's about the daily war that goes on to keep Wikipedia entries on candidates both accurate and to one's liking. Since the information in them is essentially open-source, it can be changed regularly and you don't need the subject's blessing to do so.

I have a good friend (who I've been delinquent in calling...ugh) who has spent some time in the trenches and he said that maintaining some semblance of control over the Wiki-world can turn into a major league pain in the ass at times...

Anyway, enjoy! It's good to be alive today.
