Senator John Edwards

Senator John Edwards took the stage at Gnomedex 6 to have a conversation with attendees about technology issues facing the United States both currently and in the future. Providing insight into his own stance on net neutrality, fielding questions about the future of the Democratic Party from a self-described “red-diaper baby” and listening to the issues the audience considered important were only part of this 45-minute dialog. This isn’t the typical political session where questions are screened ahead of time – everything here is raw and unfiltered. Regardless of which side of the political fence you currently sit, the Senator’s stance on political issues and his willingness to hear opinions he may not agree with make this among the best sessions at Gnomedex 6.

The video is called “Tomorrow Begins Today.” The Washington Post reported on John Edwards’ use of non-traditional means to reach

large media outlets, but in reality there still has not been a national candidate to make use of the real power of social memetics or web2.0′ish community. John Edwards has been paying a good deal of attention to this area (even appearing at Gnomedex and on Rocketboom), so I hope Edwards will use what he has learned in his presidential candidacy in 2008. If he does, it will be groundbreaking. Spending billions of dollars on mudslinging and negative messages might have worked before, but that

Google Bombing Politics…
