Like Howell Raines, I have my hobbyhorses, and chief among them (at the moment anyway) is the fervent belief that the first major pol who blogs and blogs well will reshape the way professionals think about the Internet as a political tool. And as I was editing my bookmarks this morning, removing Marshall Whitman's now-defunct Bull Moose blog, it occurred to me that his new boss would be the perfect test case. If Mr. Straight Talk himself got into the blogging business and truly learned to communicate effectively in this still-new medium, he might well be known one day as the Jack Kennedy of the Internet.
