Voters Not Too Interested in Candidates Who Pledged to Support Net Neutrality
Scott Cleland notes that all 95 congressional candidates who signed a pledge to support Net neutrality lost yesterday. It's not too surprising a result, really, given that a Harmony Institute report posted at the pro-neutrality site SaveMyInternet.com earlier this year admitted that "currently the public likes the way the Internet works. Internet users and businesses generally have a positive relationship with their ISP and believe they can access what they want, when they want it." But it does suggest that, despite all the effort put into portraying Net neutrality as a populist, grassroots cause, it's not really an issue that brings voters to the polls.
