In a post a while back I tipped that political parties which grasped the realities of the YouTube generation would be the first across the line in a Web 2.0 amplified world.

The US presidential election, the ultimate popularity contest, just stepped up to the plate with potential candidates answering questions posted on youtube live to a TV audience. 

It looks as though Mike Judge’s Idiocracy is starting to come to fruition.  A world where dysgenics is a reality; smart people have abstained themselves out of existence, the lowest common denominator has proliferated and people have brands instead of names. 

How long is it till the first US election is decided with a HotOrWhat thumbsup/thumbsdown popularity poll?
