I'm posting this because of the sign-of-the-times appeal. Today Howard Dean used his "Blog for America" to announce that he is running for the Chairmanship of the Democratic Nat'l Committee.
What, no press release? No news conference? I'm sure those may follow, but as usual-- the blog world knows first.
We've been serving up fresh content here since 2003. Lee is the primary blogger and we talk about our videos, business and the art of explanation.

Dean uses a Blog to Announce DNC Chairman Run

"Dean Campaign Made Payments To Two Bloggers"

"..The two men, who jointly operated a small political consulting firm, said they didn't believe the Dean campaign had been trying to buy their influence. Both men noted that they had promoted Mr. Dean's campaign long before they were hired and continued to do so after their contract with the campaign ended.
Mr. Moulitsas said they were paid $3,000 a month for four months and he noted that he had posted a disclosure near the top of his daily blog that he worked for the Dean campaign doing "technical consulting." Mr. Armstrong said he shut down his site when he went to work for the campaign, then resumed posting after his contract ended."
Interesting simply in relation to blogging, (and profiting from it) and the blog markets relations, openness and honestly to its audience.
