I just found this guide through a page that I subscribed to via RSS (thanks, 597!). The page is thepage.time.com, and basically recaps each day’s campaign activity. It’s interesting to see everything at a glance, albeit with a sarcastic viewpoint, and keep tabs on the amazing amount of activity that comprises each day in a presidential election. It is hard for me to imagine how different campaigning was before technology made every day a national event for every candidate, when the average American either read a report in a newspaper or had to travel to the local site of a stump speech…which was delivered on a stump! While the electoral power lies in the states, the campaign itself involves the national community. Digital books blow my mind, too. If only Ben Franklin were alive today…
