It's a little known fact that John Kerry did that, although the diary was kind of related to him. Here's the link: http://www.dailykos.com/story/2006/9/15/161210/959 It was written by a guy named Gary Norton whose brother, a VVAW protester from 1971, was featured in the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth ads. I don't believe that this brother and Kerry knew each other (there were at least 1,000 protesters), nor was this guy part of the Kerry campaign. Nevertheless, his image was displayed everywhere, and he was essentially smeared even though he wasn't involved in '04. The diary is a poignant story about Gary's brother and what he did in Vietnam. Kerry commented right at the bottom like a whisper.

Of concern to me is folks posting on Rocketboom are saying "great scoop!" To me a scoop is the result of enterprising journalism (blog, vlog, msm, whatever) not a big wet kiss. Here's part of what i posted on Andrew's blog Dembot. "Hey if Rocketboom backs Edwards good on ya! Just don't lead your viewers down a garden path. Scoble laid out some disclosure statements... sho should you." Maybe something like: WE WORK FOR THE JOHN EDWARDS CAMPAIGN Rocketboom needs to address some transparency issues here.

First comment on what the others are discussing (participate, really participate) - not use the platform to make announcements. Seeking feedback seems fine to me - but not as your first foray. Wouldn't it be cool if John, or any high profile politician, simply dropped in and contributed to the on-going conversation? No no no. This is not the way to use Daily Kos or to blog.

The new youtube campaigns will probably be just like the last: commercials, press releases, treacle from the candidates, treacle from bloggers who are fanboys/girls for the candidates, smears, and the occasional barely-watched dissenting voice.
