Campaigns Wikia

Today I came across Jimmy Wales's blog (the Wikipedia guy) and read/skimmed the articles. One post I found especially interesting was for the Campaigns Wikia. This seems like a pretty interesting project. Here's the mission statement:

It's time for politics to become more intelligent, and for democracy to really involve the people. Broadcast media tells you what to think and doesn't let you get involved. It's time to focus on what you need, what you care about, and the messages you want to get out.

The site is obviously in its infancy. For example: there is a small article on Jeb Bush but not George. On the other hand, there are some very long articles such as the one on health care.

I'll be keeping a watch on the site to see what happens. I hope it goes well.
