Clinton Courts Blogosphere
New York Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton has pulled off a major coup in her evolving relationship with the liberal blogosphere.
She has hired Peter Daou, author of the Daou Report (a blog on Salon.com) and the director of blog operations for the 2004 presidential campaign of Massachusetts Sen. John Kerry. Daou will join Clinton’s senate race fundraising committee, “Friends of Hillary.”
In a post announcing his new job, Dauo said that “as a true believer in the importance of [blogs], I’m thrilled about Senator Clinton’s interest in building this bridge with the online community and I intend to do everything I can to make it as productive as possible.” As a “blog advisor” to Clinton, Daou will seek “to facilitate and expand her relationships with the netroots,” he said.
Asked about Daou’s hiring, Howard Wolfson, a spokesman for Clinton, said only: “We are delighted to welcome Peter aboard. He will be a huge asset.”
Not Moulitsas or DailyKos, but Daou and the Daou Report from Salon.com.
Remember that Clinton skipped the Yearly Kos gathering in Las Vegas last month while other “progressives” attended in glee.
Will we get to see the Kossacks performing a “swiftboat” on Madame Hillary? Do you know how much fun that would be to watch? And not from a Vast Right Wing Conspiracy, but from fellow Nutroots. Or do we get to watch Kos preach the ‘Truth To Power’ against the Vast And Unstoppable Clinton Machine? Will this be the first step in the Democratic Implosion of 2008?
PASS THE POPCORN!
