Blogs, The Internet And Campaigns

Here a great example how blogs and the internet can help out a candidate. Tim Tagaris wrote a great piece on Daily KOS about Paul Hackett which was read by Kevin Kefgen, a video producer in Las Vegas. Kevin offered his services to produce a commercial for the Hackett campaign. You can view it here.

Elsewhere in the blogosphere, a fundraising effort was launched by some of the larger blogs and DFA. Hackett raised over $100,000 in just a couple of days and will now be able to make some media buys. If you want to toss Hackett some coin, go here, or here.

Odd side note, I think I went to high school with Kevin's sister. Small world.

Phil,

Odd coincidences... Kevin is an vert old friend of mine and former co-worker. (also from Chilicothe, did you know him?) He's crazy/great and I'd just spoken to him about thoughts on working on the Hackett campaign a week ago.

Drop me an email at kev40@yahoo.com... My sister is Kim, and went to Unioto.

Thanks for reading!
