"I want you to hold me accountable" — Barack Obama

Because of the rapid development of the internet during the last ten years we've seen what has been described as the democratization of scrutiny. It used to be left to the establishment press to keep track of a politician's promises and performance. Today, there are thousands of citizen-journalists all across America who keep track of exactly what each of them says and does. But things aren't always as simple as that.

If a presidential candidate doesn't keep his promises, but the times are good, it's probably not going to really matter. Yet if a presidential candidate keeps his promises, but they don't work, it most certainly will matter. And in the long run, political legacies and reputations will be defined by results — not simply a tally of their promises kept or broken.
