Pew: 14 Million Online Political Activists in U.S. Today

According to this article, more Americans are getting their political information from the Internet than ever before.

The Pew Internet & American Life Project found that more than 60 million Americans were online during the 2006 election season to get information about candidates and exchange ideas via e-mail.

There are several interesting conclusions from the data, not all of which I'm sure I agree with. What's most interesting about it is that lefties have an edge on the internet (like that isn't obvious), and it could be part of the reason for the Democrat win. The article plays down the significance the internet may have had in the 2006 elections, but still, if 31% of Americans used the internet to search for info on candidates and then disseminate what they found (or believed they found), that's a lot of people. More to come, I'm sure.
