Here’s an interesting piece on Republican Fred Thompson’s active Blogging life. Love, love, LOVE to see a politician embrace and enjoy Social Media so much!

While the Internet and blogs are a basic cornerstone of any
modern campaign communications strategy, Thompson has been
notably enthusiastic about expressing his thoughts online.

"The guy actually likes blogging. Before he decided he was
going to take the plunge on a presidential race, he cruised the
blogs. It attracted him," said Roger Simon, co-founder of the
Pajamas Media Web site, where Thompson frequently wins a weekly
Republican straw poll.

Thompson has promised to keep the Web commentaries coming
even after he formally kicks off his campaign. He praises the
blogosphere as part of "a true information revolution."
