Mitt Romney wins Michigan, and the war metaphors get upped a notch; it's not quite clear if Markos had any effect on the primary, and a CNN poll suggests most Dem votes went to McCain; Richard Viguerie launches a pro-Ron Paul site, harvests email addresses; Sarah Lai Stirland on the teenage forces behind Hucksarmy.com; Slashdot is conducting a reader-generated interview with the candidates; and beware: General Zod is runing for president, and will make you kneeeeel at his feet.

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.

A MySpace poll of their users claims that young people are perhaps more politically engaged than older generations; WaPo profiles John McCain, makes another tag cloud; the Slashdot community interviews Garrett Graff, chaos ensues; notes from the annals of e-democracy; results from the first National Presidential Caucus; the National Journal's Technology is closing up shop; a new Politico column from Andrew Rasiej and Micah Sifry looks at the Republicans and tech; and a new site from Bill Richardson might be the gloomiest thing ever.
