From campaigning to fundraising and on-line voting, the web could transform politics. Phil Noble is a leading specialist on politics and the internet. He answered your questions live from the Democratic convention in Los Angeles. You are always going to have great orators who move people with words. That has always been the case, whether they were standing on a street corner in Edinburgh or on the back of a truck in New Delhi or on a political stage on television in Los Angeles.
Politicians make great speeches with powerful ideas that move people.
That's the essence of politics. The next step is the communications. You read it, you watch it, you hear it, you interact with it. And I think the internet adds another dimension that ultimately is going to enrich the process. The growth rate is staggering.
