Blog for America

"Proof that blogs are becoming increasingly mainstream, the Blog for America site is actually a campaign site for United States presidential hopeful Howard Dean.

Dean, the governor of the state of Vermont, obviously thinks that being on the internet is a progressive look...

On the content side, Dean gets his interns to write blog posts about life on the campaign trail (all hard work and no cigars, sadly). There is also links to critics of his critics (but not to the original critics) and friendly articles from reporters who insist that it is Dean's message, not the new medium, that is making him popular.

Whatever it is, it seems to be working for him.

In just three months, donations of $US7.5 million ($A11.4 million) came into the campaign, $US4.1 million of it via the website. And other Democrats are reportedly jumping on to the online bandwagon.

Stop by the supposedly unofficial blog at dean2004.blogspot.com for funkier functions, such as live chat." original article
