Monday, February 27, 2006

There is an interesting article in today's Milwaukee Journal Sentinel about Presidential hopeful Russ Feingold's (D-WI) popularity in the blogosphere. Excerpts are below:On His Popularity:

"In an online poll last month on the nation's most widely read liberal blog (DailyKos. com), Feingold led the Democratic presidential field, picked by 30 percent of the 11,000-plus people who visited the Web site and voted."

"To cultivate such support, Feingold has an Internet coordinator on his political staff, consults with a team of Internet advisers, has held conference calls with Democratic-leaning bloggers, offers downloadable video podcasts, and allows supporters to vote online for which congressional candidates should receive contributions from Feingold's political committee."
