As William Goldman once said of Hollywood, nobody knows anything.

That was the running theme of the morning session of "Spinning the Web," a conference by the Institute of Political Leadership and the John Locke Foundation.

In a panel with conservative online blogger Jon Henke, former Howard Dean online organizer Zephyr Teachout and Elon University pollster George Taylor, all three agreed that political campaigns are not doing as much as they can.

Henke said that conservatives, in particular, have not organized online, in part because they haven't had a unifying cause like the left has had with President Bush and the Iraq war.

Teachout said that political campaigns are not following up with interested volunteers, or as she put it, making a campaign more like church and less like a rally.

And Taylor stressed that more young voters than ever are communicating online, but they're still a largely untapped resource.
