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.

Definitely a good idea for any candidate to blog. I just think they need to realize that it takes time to get traction/footing. Blogs are more valuable in a marathon than in a sprint.
