It's hard to imagine a suit and tie politician sitting in front of his computer everyday writing on his blog. Well today that is exactly what some politicians are doing in order to reach a new and more expanded audience. Politicians like to hear feedback and get comments on the decisions or actions they've made or are planing to make. Blogging helps them do just that.
Blogging allows the politician to write somewhat of a daily agenda for everyone to read, so, when he gets back to his computer he has criticisms or praises waiting for him. He can hear the voice of the people which helps him in an up coming debate or in making his next big decision.
Blogging also helps the politician vastly increase his audience, because as we all know the web is a information highway and much as a congested freeway the web is full of surfers. The Internet also is big among the youth of America and blogging would open doors to the newly registered voters.
The only step that politicians could make in order to increase the impact of their blog would be to announce it at a televised conference, television commercials, and even on commonly traveled web sites to give the blog some attention.
