Politics will lead the way in new marketing techniques, according to Peter Leyden, director of the New Politics Institute. Leyden, who used to be the editor for WIRED Magazine, is now with a think tank for politics funded by prominent venture capitalists.

Jennifer Jones and Leyden discuss the techniques that will change the way politicos campaign.
