Time was, people wanting a candidate to get into a race would start a website to generate buzz among constituents. These days, its easier, cheaper, and more effective to start a blog.
From an e-mail I got yesterday (which sadly gives me a whole slew of addresses in the cc: section, a no-no for anyone making contact), it seems a person going by the nom de plume, Nixon Slayer, wants Jo Ann Emerson, the 5-time winner of the 8th Missouri Congressional District and moderate Republican from Cape Girardeau, to jump into the Republican race for the Missouri Governor.
I don't know much about Jo Ann other than what I read in the papers, but I like the idea of a blog being used to draft her for a run.
