Blogs and the 2008 Presidential Campaign
March 19, 2006 at 10:12 am
A quick follow-up. We recently ran a fascinating interview about the 2008 campaign and blogs with Peter Glenshaw of Democracy for New Hampshire.
Peter posted on his site an interesting reader response. Read the whole comment here.
An excerpt:
“…in the end, what the NH Primary brings to the democratic process is the ability of all voters to be actively involved in meeting and talking to presidential wannabees. The online world is still a self-selecting group of interested political addicts.
What we saw with the Dean campaign was that online blogging didn’t take the place of on the ground meetups and organizing. People like to be able to look each other in the eye and have human interactions.
I hope that DFNH will be able to facilitate both forms of interaction in the coming years.”
