I had the pleasure of sitting down with Joe Trippi a week ago, as we both were in DC for the launch of Larry Lessig's new Change-Congress project. (Joe is working with Larry on CC, and the Sunlight Foundation, which I consult for, was co-sponsoring Larry's speech). If you watch closely, you can see Larry in the background of the first video, in fact. In general, the lack of production values suggests I should stick to my day job, I know. But we covered a lot of interesting ground, as you'll see...

Talk about viral video: a malicious email claiming to link to a Clinton video can actually infect your computer with malware; Danny Glover launches a new site, comes out of the closet; the Blackroots are behind Donna Edwards' win; which Dem has the best poverty agenda?; a strange piece of web art is like a mundane Chuck Norris Facts for Obama; charting the various ways Obama has been winning; McCain reaches out to conservative bloggers; and there's a six-foot-seven-inch Jewish faith healer in the race!

Barack Obama and John McCain sweep the Potomac Primaries; but while Obama enjoys all kinds of voter-generated support, there's nothing on the tubes in support of McCain; a new blog tracks the online advertising habits of the candidates; what if bloggers had access to the candidates? We can dream; a social greeting card wishes John Edwards well; a Norwegian perspective on the election; an online jokester gets serious; stop teh we can haz cheesburger madnez!; and some insight into Obama's text-messaging operation.

According to a new poll 45% of voters think the next president will get the tubes as much as they do; the internet also makes you smarter; Patrick Ruffini hustles to get the GOP nominee some funds in the aftermath of Super Tuesday; a fun interview with Craig Newmark; Karl Rove sends down tablets listing the new rules of politicking and and the still applicable old rules; the HuffPost's Fundrace now lets you map the political contributions of celebrities, friends, and neighbors; John McCain is one potential GOP nominee who actually understands tech policy; and Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton offer gracious notes to John and Elizabeth on their sites, with absolutely no ulterior motives.

The netroots take issue with Barack Obama comparing himself to Ronald Reagan; Jose Antonio Vargas reminds us that the web isn't just about raising money but about bringing voters into the fold; another new site lets voters chart their stands on the issues next to the candidates, and William Shatner; and most of the candidates are doing little online to prepare for tomorrow's caucus and primary.

Round ups of the conservative blogosphere make it clear that the GOP contest is wide open; Ron Paul supporters may be getting the shaft on Digg and PayPal; Ars Technica decides the New Hampshire vote controversy isn't a big deal; Google announces Checkout for Political Contributions; and John Edwards' ad contest yields pretty creative entries.

A new site does a great job of illustrating the candidates' health care positions; progressive liveblogging during the Michigan primary; the Caucus Calculator is updated for Nevada; why aren't the Republicans using the web to get out the vote in Michigan?; John Edwards once again teams up with Eventful; Dennis Kucinich successfully sues MSNBC, will attend the Nevada debate; and a new report says that most Congressional website are plain awful.

While students show up to caucus in Iowa? Maybe, if Facebook can help it; CNET laments the lack of attention paid to tech policy in 2007; the Ron Paul blimp flies while John Edwards is denied funds. Fair?; Garrett Graff gets Slashdotted; and thousands of Ron Paul supporters tell NPR just who they are.

Compete releases new data showing an online surge for Huckabee and Edwards, but Paul is still king; MTV launches its ambitious "Street Team '08" citizen journalism project; YouTube asks Iowans to videotape the run-up to the caucuses; the Electoral Map analyzes the political uses of mapping; a British Member of Parliament loses his identity, on Facebook anyway; Marc Ambinder sees an Edwards surge on and off the web.

Glenn Greenwald takes Chris Dodd's FISA victory seriously, unlike most of big media; Colin Delany is impressed with the grassroots effort behind Dodd; BlogHer asks why the candidates won't speak with them; a partnership between Rock the Vote and AT&T gets out the vote, text-style; a new site compares the candidates, and Obama and Clinton supporters engage in a Microsoft vs. Apple-style switcher's war.
