Mother of god, was that ten McCain posts in a row, Dan? Ever hear the phrase "Any publicity is good publicity"? I was wondering who the alternative nominee even was by post eight or nine. Thank god Romney got off his ass and did something link-worthy or your readers would be checking the none-of-the-above box come election day out of sheer ignorance.

I'm not sure it is the Romney campaign that doesn't get New Media, afterall the 5 Brothers Blog understands blogging. I think it is the Republican establishment that doesn't get blogs. They take their cues from Old Media/Big Media and think that is the only opinion that counts. Even Fox and their "superstars" have been nonstop cheerleaders of Obama, Hillary and McCain. Today, you wouldn't even know that Romney, or Huckabee for that matter, are in the race. We already know where the networks stand and CNN/MSNBC. Romney has talk radio and they do have some outreach, but even Rush only reaches about 20 million out of hundreds of millions.

I am a political junkie, but until this election primary cycle, I have never paid attention to primaries and I don't think most people do. A good friend of mine told me the other day that she supports Obama because of Oprah and when I told her I was supporting Romney, she said, "which one is he, the Mormon or the crazy guy?" referring to Ron Paul. That is how little the general public pays attention.

Wow, one conference call with the "new media". That'll have some impact.

He should have been doing 2 of these a week for the past month.

It's almost a slap in the face that at the last minute he considers us "relevant".

And need I point out not one immigration question. Yeah, lets just talk about mundane issues that we can't attack John McCain directly on.

The Romney team has really dropped the ball on this end of the campaigning.
