...traditional standards of big-league presidential politics, the bundlers' individual efforts may look like pocket change. Nicholas has raised $1,276 for Obama by inviting people to give according to their height--10 bucks a foot, then a dollar an inch. His friends have forwarded his e-mails to their friends, which explains why half the 14 people who have given through his site are people Nicholas has never met.

But this conscious divorce from our past during a time of practicality and necessity left me with scant little when...
