Lost opportunities in the politics of the digital age

My friend Brandon mentioned to a friend the other day an unusual math problem:

80% of Americans disagree with Bush's policies +
90-95% of the time (depending on your source,) McCain votes the same way as Bush =
A dead heat in the polls

But the interesting bit of it is that the polls are based completely in land line surveys, and I won't be surprising anyone to say that "my generation" almost exclusively uses cell phones in place of land lines. Similarly, there's Winston Churchill's statement which I shall brutally misquote: "If you're young and not liberal, you have no heart. If you're old and liberal, you have no brain." No doubt there is a slew of young folks in support of Obama who simply aren't a part of the polls.

My only question is why they haven't extended their polling to the digital medium on a wide scale. It would undoubtedly be more accurate if used in conjunction with tele-surveys.

Why is it that the oldest structures of our society, that have changed with us constantly over years and years, seem to have such a hard time embracing "the digital age" as it is so called?

On that note, I leave you with another Churchill quote: "To improve is to change; to be perfect is to change often."
