Lieberman Campaign Launches Blog

In a pretty gutsy move, Joe Lieberman’s campaign launched a blog with open comments right at two months before the election.

And in the least suprising development pretty much ever, open warfare has broken out in the comments area of the blog between Lieberman supporters/haters.

I think this would have worked a lot better had it launched before the online discussion around this race had gotten so poisonous.

    Lieberman did poorly time the launch of this blog, but what does this say about the faith he puts in blogging?  While the on-line fervor against him has swelled for awhile now, perhaps he feels that a blog is a great way to counter it — even this late in the game.  It appears that politician/candidate blogs are gaining traction.

    [...] The George Allen campaign has launched a blog.  Anything they do online is just more material for Wonkette at this point…Scott Baradell from Idea Grove has a great post on 101 Ways to Brew Up a Great Idea.  Going to Vegas is by far the best suggestion…Joe Lieberman’s campaign has quietly disabled comments on their blog.  I can’t blame them – the comments area was a complete train wreck…This video of some dude who has taken a picture of himself for six straight years is pretty cool.  The New Numa video is not – stick to the original.
