Kayne McGladrey has an interesting offer out to Washington Democratic candidates. "Would the public read the web log of a local candidate? And would a local candidate periodically write on a community web log?" The response is sort of disturbing... and shows that politicians are still stuck in the 1990's when it comes to approaches to campaigning. Kayne quotes Einstein:
Einstein, who's not often thought of when discussing politics, said that insanity is doing the same thing over and over but expecting a different result each time.By following the same tired but true approach, established politicians risk that another insurgent campaign like Howard Dean's will succeed by engaging voters where others have failed. The question is simply a matter of who's going to be first, and what side of the aisle they're sitting on.
