The Scott Brown election proves that the landscape of American politics have changed. Massachusetts is one of the most democratic leaning states in United States so the victory was considered a massive upset. Brown came out of nowhere and won that seat for the GOP. We've talked at length about the positives of breaking up the democratic filibuster-proof majority in the Senate. This is huge and should put the brakes on the plans from the radical left as long as the GOP can remain united. That's huge news but what's even more interesting is looking at what caused this swell of support for Brown in the first place. How did he close such a massive gap in the polls and pull of a convincing win? The Internet had a lot to do with it.

The world is becoming a smaller place. It used to be that state politics were just that, state politics. Too much time and distance separated people so everyone just dealt with the issues in their own state. It was simply too difficult to get involved. That's no longer the case. With the Internet, the political landscape has changed.

Before Drudge Report started covering this race, it was virtually unnoticed. No one was paying attention to the race in Massachusetts and that was how the Democrats wanted it. If no one pays attention and no one shows up to vote then the Democratic candidate would walk to a victory. The Internet allowed this race to build the hype of a Presidential election which is amazing in its own right. It's further proof that the Internet gives everyone a powerful voice.

Consider the fact that towards the end of the campaign Brown was raising over a million dollars a day in funds. With the Internet, it's become easy for someone to contribute funds to a candidate and those funds aren't necessarily all coming from residents of the state. This can give a united political cause tremendous amounts of force and can effectively fight back against the wealthy politicians that have infected Washington. A candidate can't run without funding and I see this as one of the few ways that conservative candidates can fight back against the well funded Democratic machine.

With that said, it does raise some questions. Should funding be that open? Are there downsides? Time will tell.

We also saw an amazing amount of time donated from other states. For example, supporters of Chuck DeVore who is running against Barbara Boxer for her senate seat donated time to participate in phone banks to reach out to the people of Massachusetts. A few years ago this wouldn't have been possible. The Internet is an amazing tool for organizing a group of people and phone service is so cheap as to be basically free.

What we saw on Tuesday was a combination of people being fed up with the government not listening and the incredible impact that technology can have on a political race. Technology has changed the world and is now changing the political landscape. Representatives don't have to worry about just their district or their state anymore. If the country is angry, the Internet will let them know that. We live in interesting times indeed.
