fred Thompson TRK5: And, a new breed of operatives are being hired, like Mindy Finn, the director of E-strategy with the Romney Campaign. Mindy 1:14 An E-Strategist is really just taking look at web and technology and saying how do we use this new media. TRK6: In the war room at Romney's Boston headquarters… campaign workers monitor what's become a 24-hour news cycle. SOT: Internet Politics: Mindy: 11:10 In a war room…it takes some people to be paying attention not only to whats going on in print media, radio and tv, but now the internet too, which we all know can change in a matter of seconds. SOT: Internet Politics: James: 34:01 2008 is really emerging to be the campaign of video…videos are a big deal. TRK7: Expensive TV ads are no longer the only way to reach the masses The video-sharing web service UTUBE does it for free and campaigns are aggressively pursuing it. SOT: Internet Politics: Mindy: Utube holds 60% of the worlds' video the traffic numbers are growing every day.so it makes sense that you would put as many videos as you can out on utube audience, SOT; Obama Tape / Tim Foley: Obama 3:30 In the age of u tube a good video is only a link away.you can send it to friends and help spread the word that way 3:35 TRK8: Tim Foley is the NH New Media director for the Barack Obama campaign. He says the growth of social networking websites have allowed campaigns to connect with millions of potential voters. SOT: OBAMA TAPE: Tim:50 The success of my space, facebook is built on ability for people to contact each other and get them interested in something they feel passionate about. SOT: Internet Politics: James: 41:04/ if a 23 puts on my space that barrack obama is greatest ever and you see that time and time again…obviously press and opponents can look at the myspace page so it does continue buzz.and its very easy and cheap to do. TRK9: With cyber campaigning… innovation creates buzz as it did with The CNN/U-TUBE debate …aimed at engaging voters in the electoral process: SOT: Obama Tape: 4:52 Tim: This is many ways is the internet equivalent of being on a magazine cover, it means people are interested in what you have to say.what you represent, they're interested in message and they want to have some fun with it TRK11: But, humor can sometimes backfire -and when it does UTUBE is there. SOT: Internet Politics: 26: 23 Joe biden was trying to make a joke in spring about Indians went bad.over the internet… he's had to watch himself… Hillary had her mike on when she was trying to sing the star spangled banner. SOT: Internet Politics: James: .and she's learned from that. Doesn't do things like that anymore. Wasn't best singer jokes about it. SOT: Internet Politics: James: 24:19 at any given moment an ad can appear on utube that can change discussion for day or week that campaign did not anticipate 24:26 NATS: Internet Broll Tape: 1:15:22 so welcome, lets give welcome to Macaaa here welcome to America… 1:15:33 allen bus pic TRK12: An off- the cuff remark, if posted on Utube can make or break a candidate. SOT: Internet/Politics: 25:10 James: People may not have understood what he said, person in 5th row at house party when george allen said macaca…may not even have understoodf what mcacca meant its ability to broadcast, ability for opposition to see it, drum it up build up support and momentum did change a campaign. TRK13: Presidential candidates know all too well the power and reach of the internet. SOT: Internet Politics Tape: Mindy: 13:51 I do also think it puts more pressure on candidates every move they make is being tracked.is being recorded. TRK14: Take the 1994 clip from a Mitt Romney Senate Debate. 1:44:47 I believe abortion should be safe and legal in this country…. TRK15: When the online attack came… the campaign was ready with a counter response within hours. SOT: Internet Politics: MINDY: 20:58 the initial attack didn't have the legs it would have because response came immediately thru Utube 21:06 TRK19: The internet's revenue potential also can't be ignored. In 2004, online fundraising was at 3-5% -- in 2008 its closer to 15-20%. SOT: Internet Politics: James: COVER 26:02 …this is the most covered…most broadcast election in us history. SOT: Obama Tape: Tim Foley / 7:13-:17 not enuf hours in day to keep track of it all SOT: OBAMA tape: 7:20 Tim: this is just an outgrowth of 24 hour news cycle and to a certain extent and outgrowth on how invested people are in this election 7:28 Mindy: 15:16-:25 I think the web is not going away.I think it will become more of an integral part of campaigns. SOT: Internet/Politics: 28:02 James: …and the campaigns that don't adapt…are ones that will lose or Edwards stuff SOT: Internet Politics: Mindy: 9:21: going back to 2003 Howard Dean got a lot of attention for the online campaign he ran, and people joining on meetups.when it came time for the primaries that didn't translate into votes. We're very careful that anything we do is with the 3 core goal messages in mind…getting message out, reaching them with message, raising money and ultimately mobilizing volunteer army of support to to turn out the vote 9:44 TRK: Few have forgotten that in 2004 Howard Dean's On-Line campaign brought in the money - but, not the vote. SOT: Internet Politics: JAMES: 44:08 The key question when we talk about all this and how the internet has revolutionized things and how campaigns are using it…Can they take that buzz and energy on line and translate that into votes because that's what it's all about. 44:19 |

Ethanol could fuel price hikes Posted Saturday, March 31st 2007, 4:00 AM An ethanol-fueled boom in prices will prompt American farmers to plant the most corn since the year the Allies invaded Normandy, but surging demand could mean consumers still might pay more for everything from chicken to cough syrup. Corn is a key ingredient in many foods, from corn syrup found in candies to feed used in meat production. With more corn being used for ethanol production, that could raise prices in other areas where corn is used. Farmers are expected to plant 90.5 million acres of corn, according to the Department of Agriculture's annual prospective plantings report released yesterday. That would be a 15% increase over 2006 and the most corn planted since 1944. The move to plant corn is in large part due to a rush to produce corn-based ethanol, which is blended with gasoline. The corn rush was sparked by President Bush's initiative for support of flexible-fuel vehicles and his administration's plan to cut gas consumption by 20% in 10 years.

n New West Energy Grok ‘Ethanol Binge’ Hikes Corn Prices By Richard Martin, 3-23-07 Last week US BioEnergy had a ground-breaking ceremony at a new ethanol plant in Dyersville, Iowa, bringing to 78 the number of ethanol plants under construction, with 113 already operating. And that’s not good news for the ranchers and poultry farmers of the Rocky Mountain West. Amid the “ethaphoria” currently gripping agribusiness and certain parts of the nation’s capital, a growing chorus of voices is pointing out an unintended consequence on the reliance on corn and grains as the raw material for ethanol production: prices for feed fo livestock are rising, sending prices at grocery stores up as well. “This ethanol binge is insane,” Paul Hitch, president-elect of the National Cattlemen’s Beef Assn., told BusinessWeek. Corn prices have doubled over the last year, reports the Earth Policy Institute, while wheat futures are trading at their highest level in 10 years. The diversion of corn to fuel ethanol uses “is creating unintended consequences throughout the global food chain,” a Bloomberg analysis finds – not to mention increased use of pesticides and fossil fuels to grow all that corn. Meanwhile, the U.S. Congress has slapped a 54-cents-per-gallon tarrif on ethanol from Brazil – which is grown from sugarcane. Wonder what’s going to happen to rum prices. In other energy news: -- In a man-bites-dog story, Xcel Energy has applied to the Colorado Public Utilities Commission for an electricity rate decrease of $13.6 million thanks to lower costs of fuel, such as natural gas, and purchased electricity predicted for upcoming months. If approved by the PUC, the new rates would take effect April 1 and continue through June 30. Meanwhile, the Colo. attorney general has announced his support for HB 1208, which would alter the state’s Unfair Practices Act to allow big chain stores to offer big gas discounts. -- As Colo. Governor Bill Ritter’s legislative package to boost renewable energy, and increase oversight of the oil and gas industry in the state, moves closer to signing, Big Energy is faced with a dilemma: oppose the measures, and be seen as obstructionists and anti-environmentalists, or swallow hard and go along? So far the Colorado Petroleum Association is against House Bill 1341, which would reform the board of the Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission, while oil giant BP—the state’s No. 1 natural gas producer—says it will take a wait-and-see approach. -- Earlier we reported that, despite the Bush Administration’s ambitious goals for technology to produce cellulosic ethanol from organic material other than corn, the research budget for the National Renewable Energy Laboratory in Golden, which is leading the way on cellulosic science, had flatlined. That’s no longer the case: the Energy Department announced Friday that the NREL will get an additional $99 million in funding this year, a 47-percent jump. Comment By dukeco1, 3-23-07 Big Energy is not accustomed to going along. They are, in Colorado at least, accustomed to getting their way. They just need to sidle over and make room for all their chickens moving back in to the roost. Comment By Hal Herring, 3-23-07 Brazilian ethanol tariff shows the world that all our free market talk is just like all that talk about WMD. How much more credibility can we stand to lose? As we pump out the last aquifers to water the chem-corn.bust the last prairie for the GMO variety, importing as much oil as we can to drive those tractors that make the corn ethanol binge.keep those Wahabbis happy, don't you know, keep the money flowing to them as leaders pretend to "get off the product," wreck the land, keep the annuities for the families of the Islamic suicide bombers healthy, line some US pockets, and witness the end of the greatest nation on earth. Dang. Hal Boy, it ain't a pretty picture is it? Comment By Chris, 3-23-07 Not only that, but the plants that make the stuff are awful-smelling blights too. Last week I was working literally in the shadow of an ADM plant in Cedar Rapids, IA, that processes corn syrup from corn, and is in the process of building an ethanol plant. I don't know what was in the exhaust belching into the sky, but it sure smelled raunchy. I wouldn't wish that in anyone's backyard. Comment By pete geddes, 3-23-07 When we subsidize things that trade in the market, we benefit the well off and well organized at the expense of the most vulnerable members of society. This holds true whether in Bozeman, Boston, or Birmingham. Princeton Ph.D. George Will said it well: “The world is divided between those who do and do not understand that activist, interventionist, regulating, subsidizing government is generally a servant of the strong and entrenched against the weak and aspiring.” Comment By Francesco DeParis, 3-23-07 I think we should start supporting cellulosic ethanol in the same manner we support corn-based ethanol. There will come a point when corn prices are too high to consider this an economic alternative to petroleum. I comment about cellulosic ethanol onEnergy Spin: Alternative Energy Blog For Investors Served Daily Cheers, Francesco DeParis Comment By bearbait, 3-25-07 One result of NAFTA was that corn from USA was so cheap and available that it drove tens of thousands of small Mexican farmers off the land and to town to find work. Now that corn has doubled in price, tortillas have also doubled in price. The poorest in Mexico now have a harder time eating, and more incentive to move north. The end result, of course, is how much energy independence do you gain by having your country supporting another million or more illegal aliens in need of medical, financial, housing and education subsidy, all of which come with energy demands? Corn ethanol comes with costs, many of which are hidden. Again, a hero move supported by liberal midwestern politicians financed by MegaAg companies, comes with unintended consequences. The ones in Mexico have happened, and the ones here are on the conveyor belt to realization. Meat prices will have to rise, and we all will pay that price. Even the vegans will pay a higher price as soy beans are replaced by corn in the farm fields. Comment By cc, 3-26-07 That Xcel Energy news item relates to the monthly ECA which adjusts, up or down, for the commodity cost of natural gas feedstock, primarily. Thus, it is not that unusual to see a downward ECA result in an overall decrease in electrictiy rates for the following month. Incidentally, the same mechanism is found on the natural gas bills but it is called a GCA. Thus, this is not a "man bites dog" story, but something that occurs when natural gas prices decline.
