If there wasn't an Internet, Barack Obama probably wouldn't be President, and quite honestly, a lot of things would be different.  I'm not even sure George W. Bush would've been elected.

You honestly think Gore's Internet quote (which the media and the GOP misquoted) cost him that many votes?

No - I was meaning more with website fundraising (not sure who did better), but I'm pretty certain that without the Internet, Kerry would've won.

There are so many variables.  Changing something like the Internet would cause so many tiny chain reactions that it's impossible to know what would've happened.
