Zwei Beispiele für einen interessanten Einsatz von Weblogs zu "politischen Zwecken":

Bei DetNews.com (Detroit News Online) hat man ein Online-Bewerbungsformular für "Political Blogger" geschaltet.
Gesucht werden Bloggerinnen und Blogger, die für maximal 30 Tage ihre politischen Ansichten mitteilen möchten.

Yes, I'd like to share my pithy observations and insightful analysis of the 2004 election season by writing my thoughts at least several times a week in a Weblog on Detnews.com. I understand that if I am chosen, the information submitted below will be posted as a "bio" on my Weblog, and I agree to have a recent photo of myself posted as well. I agree to serve a term of 30 days (so others can then participate).

OregonLive.com lässt zwei "Undecided Voters" Colin Elliott und Chris Snethen bloggen. Als quasi Dokumentation des "Entscheidungsprozesses". Netter Ansatz!:

Once again Oregon is a pivotal state in the Presidential election. It's vital for the Democrats and a prize for the Republicans and President Bush. In 2000, with Ralph Nader muddying the waters, it took three days of recounts before Al Gore won Oregon by 6,765 votes. This year's election is expected to be just as tight. Voters who are currently undecided may determine Oregon's winner. Two of these undecided voters are detailing how they make their choice in blogs for OregonLive.com.
