Blue Jersey Passed Over

by: Hopeful

Sun May 25, 2008 at 05:00:00 AM EDT



The Internet is playing an increasing role in political campaigns, and I like to think Blue Jersey is respected for our contribution.  Now, JohnMcCain.com has issued a new blog outreach program:

Select from the numerous web, blog and news sites listed here, go there, and make your opinions supporting John McCain known. Once you've commented on a post, video or news story, report the details of your comment by clicking the button below.

Yes, they're recruiting trolls and sock puppets. There's even a little graphic encouraging Republicans to promote McCain at Daily Kos, and a pull-down menu to suggest more web sites. But where is Blue Jersey on the list of "Suggested" Liberal Blogs? The answer is nowhere: We've been excluded and passed over.  

No one at the McCain campaign claims responsibility for this outreach program, much less the selection procedure for the web sites included, but I would think -- based on her title and expertise -- that McCain's National Communication Director Jill Hazelbaker must be responsible.  So, I'd like to say that the mastermind behind AmadeusNJ, cleanupnj, and usedtobeblue should acknowledge that Blue Jersey helped inspire this program, and move immediately to include us in this blog outreach program.

I would appreciate it if any members of the traditional media could ask the McCain campaign about why we were passed over.

Juan's tie. (4.00 / 1)
They ain't messin' with anyone who'll wear a tie like that. Scared them half to death, it did.

Someone who is 6"2' tall(in his pumps, apparently), has a name that ends in a vowel, and dresses like that in this Post-Sopranos world surely generates some...respect. Ahem.

The nom de plume has a long and distinguished history.


Passing NJ? (0.00 / 0)
Could it be they may be writing off NJ?  I would be surprised but don't know that much about this kind of thing.  But both Obama and Clinton beat McCain in NJ in the latest polls and I don't hink it's very close.

Cheers for humor, but BlueJersey was passed over for something way more important... (0.00 / 0)
That is, this:

The state blog convention access.  Bunch of crap that BlueJersey wasn't selected.
