Though social networking may have contributed enormously to the election and reinvigorated the US democratic process for the moment, like the digital divide we often notice, there is still the dilemma of bringing in the voices of the marginalised. My neighbourhood experience with those still on dial-up vs. those with highspeed, here in a comparative rural paradise of equality, has heightened my awareness of the subtlety of disenfranchisement, especially now, when it surfaces most noticeably in US politics. While we are admiring Obama's marriage of community organising to the internet, there is still room for amplifying voices of those who feel they need to paint "maverick" on their chests to be noticed and heard, because they may not contribute to a digital conversation.
