Johns Hopkins report on Weblogs in Presidential Politics. "New report examines the use of blogs in Presidential Campaigning and finds only four of the nine of the Democratic candidates have created official blogs." [Weblogs At Harvard]

Of note.  Candidate blogs are a Good Thing, but, of course, like all forms of political communication run the risk of becoming mere platforms for campaign patter.  The best blogs would allow a candidate to post at 4:00 AM after a hard day of rubber chicken dinners without the benefit of rewrite by a chirpy political staffer.  After all it is honesty and openness that the bloggin community find most refreshing.
