...space. Penn was fired. Brazile slashed salaries, including her own, so that the money could be spent on campaign workers in Iowa and New Hampshire.

The motorcades were scaled back, and Gore switched from photo ops to town meetings, where his command of the issues could shine. Instead of staging events in the afternoon, to make the evening news, he began doing them at night, to make contact with voters. The campaign canvassed New Hampshire by phone...

And it is off-line, in the real world, where we find a precious social resource, people we have little in common with. The supermarket checkout lady, the librarian, the shoppers at the mall--all are handy reminders of the larger community we're part of--multicultural, socioeconomically diverse yet bound by a common nature...
