I didn't know I was running for president until I saw this new video from AARP. Now, the guy running AARP's online advocacy program is a friend, but I was nevertheless stunned to see AARP wanted me for president. Geeesh!

This morning I attended the Adfero Group's Winning in a Web World forum at the US Chamber of Commerce. The topic of this forum was "How Associations Engage Online in a Presidential Election." The half-day forum started out with a panel on User Generated Campaigns, featuring among others one of our newest TechPresident colleagues, Patrick Ruffini. Patrick was joined by David Almacy, who used to serve as the Internet and eCommunications Director for the White House and is now a digital media strategy consultant. The second panel featured e-advocacy strategists from AARP, Children's Defense Fund, and Strong Schools for America to talk about how they were leveraging the campaigns to raise awareness of their issues.
