Another one of the unconventional premises of our campaign was the idea that young, "wired" individuals who work and play in the new technology economy would rally to support one of their own, a candidate who "gets it" -- that is, who demonstrably understands the power and potential of networks and transparency in politics.
At one point, our campaign manager, Jill Harris, a seasoned veteran of local campaigns as well as the field director of the 2004 ACT operation in the battleground state of Ohio, said to me that she had never worked on such an unusual campaign.

PUY DU FOU, France (CNN) -- Phillippe de Villiers is the leader of the campaign to vote "No" in Sunday's referendum on the European Union constitution.
The reasoning of many who will vote "no" has nothing to do with the merits of the constitution itself and everything to do with their experience with European-wide government -- an experience which many find more negative than positive.
And that is something he no doubt hopes his fellow Frenchmen will continue to do against the European empire builders of today -- by not easily giving a thumbs up to the constitutional referendum.
