  1. Hey guys…

    The podcasts have been grand. Starting with Joe Jaffe, I’ve managed to connect with your casts, Mitch Joel and CC Chapman to mention a few along the threads. You guys are a powerful resource for new media, marketing, etc.

    I wanted to comment on one specific portion of this show. You had a lengthy discussion on the recent political flub that was great. You started the tangent from the traditional politic communications space into the new media space with the suggestion of campaign supporter blog guidelines (brillant!). I would like to see a show start a meme on this topic specifically. I have worked with a couple of candidates in the new media space and for the most part they are do not want to explore the potential of new media in a campaign even given the recent media blitz successes in the USA.

    I would love to be a part of the discussion to follow.

    Keep up the great casts…

    Kelly
