There is a recent post on Jill Walker's blog about ways in which people are using blogging for purposes like running for political office or running a university. She talks about a man who, after being an active member of local organizations, has decided to run for office and he is blogging it. Walker thinks "...the immediacy of blogging might work particularly well at such a local level." I'm wondering how large the audience will actually be? Is politics an area of life that, if a politician decided to, while running for office, blog about it, even those who don't normally read blogs would decide to start?
