    Declan -
    	The first primary competition is being held on the internet! The group
    MoveOn (http://www.moveon.org) is holding a primary competition to determine
    who their organization and PAC will support. If a single candidate gets 50% or
    more of the vote, that candidate will receive the "nomination".
    
    	It's a interesting example of the internet as a political tool.
