Compare McCain Victory Bloggers to Just Say No Deal blogrolls


Fill in astroturf blogging entry on SourceWatch


Unique access - bloggers on the bus McCain - also Obama?

Hillary Clinton announced her candidacy online

Cheaper to do outreach online than w/ 30 sec. TV spots

Soren Dayton fired from McCain b/c of video he posted on Twitter

Behind the great (and fallen) candidates you find a webmaster and his webteam

Obama has better chance at connecting w/ netroots (than clinton) b/c of his opposition to iraq war

All media should register for media updates from each campaign through their press offices:

Q's


  • What is your job description?
  • How do you pitch stories to bloggers - send press release, copy, talking points?
  • When/why did conference calls with bloggers start/stop?
  • Why do many of the pro-mccain and pro-palin blogs in our analysis seem so far outside the organic/tightly linked blogosphere?
