I would say Obama’s youth appeal and web 2.0 approach is what made it possible for him to win.

Hillary still could have won if she’d avoided all the mistakes that can be boiled down to a failure to recognize that the political landscape had changed.

Good comment. At this stage in the elections I don’t think there is any “proof” in the sense of valid and reliable statistical procedures showing causal relationships (My background is actually research methodology.”) We’re pretty much making hypotheses. In measurement terms I think mine has what’s referred to as “face validity.” I came to this conclusions studying the campaign carefully for my next book (October 2008) Grown Up Digital. Social capital is a powerful thing, especially Net Gen social capital, I believe that Obama tapped into effectively.

This is not a conclusion I’d trust without some validation of your conjectures (“Get to a Net Gener with a social network of say 400 young people and tapping into a powerful resource called social capital — relationships based on trust”).

It is tempting to draw the conclusion that this is a triumph for Politics 2.0, but some of the attributions you are dismissing as trivial aren’t. The non-criticality of those influences has to be proven rather than assumed.
