Denver November 2004 Election
Ed Cone: "By writing directly onto the web, Thigpen has the ability to communicate with a potentially enormous number of people, in his own voice, unmediated and at almost no cost. He's got his own media platform now; he doesn't have to wait for television or the newspaper to carry his message, or dip into his campaign budget to buy an ad every time he wants to get a message out. And because readers can leave comments, he's able to have something like a conversation with them...But there is something special about a weblog. It keeps people coming back by adding fresh content and allowing for a running conversation. It lets the experts on a given subject speak for themselves, rather than just be spoken for and about."
I'll make my usual offer. I'll help any and all campaigns start a weblog. No charge. You'll need $49 for Radio Userland, $25 a month for Ricochet wireless service and $2,500 or so for a PowerBook.
