Women, Election 2008, you you you
On BlogHer today, founder Lisa Stone had a great post covering women bloggers’ coverage of Hillary Clinton’s announcement that she is running for president.
Lisa noted how Hillary’s announcement, her use of online video to do so, her invitation to hear from us, the voters, caused a lot of women bloggers who normally blog about everything BUT politics, to comment.
I wrote this in a comment on BlogHer and it’s got me thinking:
Same for Edwards, and Obama. Do you think when/if McCain and his team announce they will be quite so cozy?
I for one worry I am too cynical to accept politicians’ invite to “join the conversation,” a popular buzzword these days on their websites’ and YouTube videos. On the other hand, it’s better than the alternative, and it’s a refreshing alternative to Bush’s paternalistic attitude towards governance.
