引述 :『Dear President _________, Congratulations! Now brace yourself for an avalanche of advice — from the 21 people in your Cabinet, from dozens of advisory councils, hundreds of members of Congress, thousands of lobbyists and pundits, and millions of voters. Everyone's got an opinion on what needs to be done. But the policies that emerge from such groupthink tend to be weird mashups of conflicting interests or warmed-over slabs of conventional wisdom. Enough of that. The country needs fresh directions and crisp action plans on intractable issues like climate change, energy, security, and defense. To help shape your thinking, we've come up with a Smart List of 15 Wired people with big ideas about how to fix the things that need fixing. Hail to the new chief — and please listen up.』

引述 :『I've received a flurry of tweets that this application was actually an all-volunteer effort that was later adopted by the Obama campaign. This definitely changes my perception, and makes me feel better that the campaign didn't decide to dump money into development right before the election. It makes me happy that 1.) volunteers created this slick application on their own, and 2.) that the Obama campaign embraced the application as their own. So - congratulations to the volunteer developers, and kudos to the campaign for embracing volunteer efforts. I'm looking forward to seeing this kind of collaboration continue.』

引述 :『影像出現在電視上，背景是不祥的音樂。這將是另一個負面政治廣告，在你尚未意識到之前，訊息就掌控了你的大腦。 你或許不希望如此，但它已立即發揮功效。 精神病學教授馬可．亞柯博尼博士說，事實上，這種廣告對大腦的影響「實在驚人」。 全美的科學家持續追蹤著負面廣告對身心的影響。亞柯博尼追蹤了人們觀看最愛的候選人遭攻擊時，中腦斷層掃描會亮起的部分區域。其他科學家則在廣告字句的含義滲透之前，測量人們皺眉頭與微笑的程度。通常，研究人員發現，負面廣告讓遭攻擊的候選人之支持者可能不去投票。 心理學教授喬治．比澤說︰「大家都說『我討厭這種廣告，它們很糟糕』。」不過他也提到︰「它們似乎奏效。」 而且，政治人物也知道這一點。因為最近的數據顯示，政黨花更多的錢打負面廣告，而不是正面廣告。 史丹佛大學傳播學教授善托．易言格表示，負面廣告讓攻擊他人的候選人之支持者更可能投票，讓受害的候選人之支持者感到失望，投票可能性降低。 易言格說，不過攻擊性的廣告對獨立選民影響不大。美國參議員選舉結果於十一月七日揭曉，他已完成民眾對結果相近的七州之正負面廣告的反應之研究。他網路上的研究測量了觀看廣告的民主黨員、共和黨員與獨立選民的「基本直覺與情緒反應」。 （美聯社/翻譯：賴美君）』
