Further away, all kinds of politicians are wondering how to work blogging into their campaign plans. First, most of them must learn to spell "blogging" and learn how to say it without a sour look on their faces.
Finally, campaign strategists for House and Senate elections are trying to decide what this means for the issues to be fought over this November. Most pollsters on contract are probably on the telephone even as I blog.
