Campaigns are hiring bloggers; it looks like Mathew Gross and crew have inspired a cottage industry.
Tim Tagaris, who cut his teeth on Jeff Seemann’s campaign last cycle, and then went to the Swing State Project blog for a couple of months, is working on Chuck Pennacchio’s underdog Senate bid in Pennsylvania…
Matt Stoller, who proved that bloggers could contact the invisible unicorns who watch over all of us at the Democratic convention and who was long the editor of the Blogging of the President site, is working for Senator Jon Corzine on his gubernatorial bid in New Jersey…
And now I see that Aldon Hynes, one of the hardest working veterans of the Dean grassroots, who blogs at Orient Lodge and Greater Democracy, has been hired as Blogmaster for Mayor John DeStefano of New Haven who is running for Governor of Connecticut. It’s a trend!
Aldon has an interesting post on his personal blog describing how he came to take his new job.
