Hillary Clinton Blogging for 2008 US Presidency
So Hillary is taking a second stab at the US Presidency (this time without hiding behind hubby, Bill) and has hired a prominent political blogger to get her voice heard (no, it’s not hubby Bill).
Hillary Clinton has hired Peter Daou, editor of Salon.com’s Daou Report and one of the most prominent bloggers in the United States. With this moves, she signals that indeed she is running for the Presidency in 2008.
From the June 26 article in the Washington Post:
WASHINGTON, June 26 — Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton’s campaign has hired Peter Daou, one of the most prominent political bloggers in the nation, to help disseminate her message in a forum that has not always been that hospitable to her.
The move underscores the degree to which bloggers –the authors of Web logs, or blogs– have begun to transform American politics. In many cases, candidates have even set up their own blogs, with staffers answering questions, presenting policy proposals and posting campaign literature and videos. Mrs. Clinton, who is up for re-election this year and is a possible presidential candidate for 2008, has been a frequent target of bloggers, particularly liberals who are angry over her refusal to disavow her vote in 2002 to authorize President Bush to use force in Iraq.
So, if she wins, does it mean Bill will be the first lady?
