I have seen the future of politcal campaigning, and it's spelled S P A M. A
few weeks ago there were local elections in New Orleans, Louisiana.
Although I live and work in Florida, my office e-mail domain somehow got
added to the e-mail campaign lists of the candidates. For weeks prior to
the election, I and others in my office, along with my e-mail lists, were
getting political ads via e-mail almost daily. These ads had fake return
addresses and no remove lines. And it wasn't just one candidate. The
e-mails were for at least two candidates. This was just for a small local
election. 2004 is going to be a major election year in the U.S., and I
suspect we are going to have to deal with a lot more e-mail politcal ads in
the coming months, much of it mis-directed as were the New Orleans ads to
me.
