Just one year ago, few Americans had heard about an obscure governor who happened to want to be president of the United States.
But a recent surge by his rivals notwithstanding, former Vermont governor Howard Dean is still the man to beat--a startling change that has shaken the foundations of the Democratic Party and is largely due to the Internet.

Even his opponents concede that Dean was the first politician to take full advantage of the self-organizing networks of supporters that sites like Meetup.com and an army of Web loggers can provide. Over 177,000 people are registered for Dean get-togethers through Meetup.com, while Wesley Clark boasts just 58,900 and John Kerry a mere 18,900.
