Deanie Babies

The Deanie Babies were some really great phenomenon back in 2004. The young people started being involved in political campaigning. Even if they were not that political interested. Here is a nice article about the Deanie Babes http://www.thenation.com/doc/20040329/kamenetz
In my eyes this engagement and voulunteer work is really great. I actually cannot imagine that in Germany, though. Not a lot of people would leave school or University to work for a political candidate. The interest in being political active is not that great, most young people do not even care about politics at all.
The Deanie Babies helped to start the internet revoultion in campaining and this trend went on with the Obama campaign. Young people started being political active more and more. Sometimes I just wonder how the internet just helped to get people being involved again and work as a volunteer.
