Continuing my weekend catchup, we have the first of what will likely be several diary entries on Daily Kos by Chris Bell's Operations Manager Tim McCann. I believe we're going to see more of this kind of direct interaction between now and 2006, and I think as that happens, the bar is going to get raised a bit. By that I mean in order to impress the target audience, more will be expected of the candidates themselves and less from intermediaries, such as doing their own writing and taking some time in order to respond to comments. Or maybe this will all be a fad and no one will understand why any candidate would want to get involved like that in a year's time. But I don't think that will be the case.
