Obama Blogger Outreach

I keep hearing that Barack Obama's campaign has had the worst outreach to liberal blogs, and while that was certainly true in the beginning, it has to be acknowledged that it's gotten better. And now here's a lengthy video interview with BlogHer, the first candidate to sit down with this blog focused on women's issues. And he broke news - or at least news to me, advocating for a health-care screening process for every veteran, and health insurance that covers birth control to reduce unwanted pregnancies. Both of these are pretty smart.

I've never been someone who thinks that bloggers... have... the power!!! We're just citizens and we don't deserve the ear of a Presidential nominee any more than another set of citizens. But while focusing on winning the election, Obama is not completely ignoring the meme factory that blogs have become.
