The New Republic has an interesting look at the politics surrounding the Wikipedia articles on Senator Clinton and Senator Obama. In the article, the author explores at the crass edits that some posters contributed to the page, the main editors of their respective entries, and how some of the deliberation and decision-making behind the entries actually works.
Even better than the article are the comments on the "talk page" or "discussion tab" for both Senator Clinton and Senator Obama.
There really are at least two papers. First, one paper could explore the democratization of knowledge, rhetoric of memory, and how ideology binds these together. There is also a paper on public deliberation, public knowledge, and how to make a decision on what should be known.
And people think caucuses are messy.
