Political Blogger Hired By Clinton Campaign
In a sign of the blogosphere's growing influence, Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton's campaign has hired prominent political blogger Peter Daou as a web consultant to improve Sen. Clinton's Internet image.
Sen. Clinton has previously been a target for left-wing bloggers, who criticized her support of the war in Iraq. Unlike former Virginia governor Mark Warner and Iowa's Gov. Tom Vilsack, Clinton did not attend the YearlyKos, the major bloggers convention that took place this month.
The hope is that Daou, who worked as the blog outreach and online director for Sen. John Kerry's presidential campaign, will be able to rehabilitate Sen. Clinton's image among an increasingly influential set of liberal bloggers.
This announcement by the Clinton campaign team has fueled speculation that the first-term New York Senator and former First Lady is planning a run for the Democratic presidential nomination in 2006.
