Campaigns are won or lost depending on what is happening in the world and how effectively the candidates campaign. Popular culture is just a postmodern term for entertainment, which is a lot more fun than politics, but totally different.
And,
With talk radio, 24-hour cable news networks, the Internet and blogging, technology and popular culture have all been offered up as vehicles for revolutionizing politics. This election cycle, the Internet was a useful fund-raising and organizing tool for Howard Dean. But even a good tool cannot rescue a poor candidate. Talk radio and cable news are not inconsequential; if nothing else, they help explain the decline in the quality of American journalism. But they have not elected anyone.
Interesting admission.
