Die Anti-Republican-Blogger stehen in den Startlöchern. Da möchte auch Hillary Clinton nicht hinten anstehen und engagiert für den Senats-Wahlkampf im November The Grid-Blogger Peter Daou. Der Mann war übrigens bereits für die "Kerry-Edwards"-Kampagne im Einsatz. Auf Salon erklärt er seine Motivation:
"Which brings me to the point of this blog post: I have been offered – and accepted – what I believe is a unique opportunity to help close the triangle: joining Senator Clinton’s team as a blog advisor to facilitate and expand her relationship with the netroots. There are endless possibilities for Clinton-netroots collaborations, from Net Neutrality to the Privacy Bill of Rights to voting reform to so many other critical issues. [...] The past few months have been a challenging period in the growth of the blogosphere, with the YearlyKos convention marking the “arrival” of the blogs as a political force (at least in the eyes of many mainstream reporters and political operatives). But YearlyKos has also touched off a series of harsh attacks against the netroots and specifically Daily Kos and its founder Markos Moulitsas. As blog influence continues to grow, we can expect more intense fire directed at the blogosphere by those who have a vested interest in undermining it."
