Can Technology Sustain the McCain effort?

Technology has grown leaps and bounds since McCain's last run for the presidency...

McCain should be able to raise money quickly online, but he will have to organize in a hurry in the early states before Tsunami Tuesday on February 5th. 

This moment in presidential politics will be a major test for the internet revolution.  Technology is supposed to make political organizing faster, better, and more efficient, and the war hero from Arizona needs that to be true.  In 1984, Sen. Gary Hart shocked the political world be doing "better than expectations" in Iowa, but did not have the infrastructure to raise money and organize supporters quick enough for the preceding primaries.

Does technology change the Gary Hart problem?
