Abstract (at least 300 words to describe your proposal)

Pete Ashdown was the first political candidate to utilize a wiki in a major political campaign. By opening his platform, organizing, and strategy to the public a template for political action and discourse was created. See how this affected his campaign in 2006 and how it is working today as he runs again in 2012.
