Eliot Spitzer, Blogger
Perhaps despairing of the continuing interest of the traditional media in his office's entanglements with Joe Bruno, Eliot Spitzer has opened up a new public relations front.
He recently posted on the Huffington Post and on Daily Kos, speaking, in theory, directly to one of the most motivated and active parts of the Democratic base (which notably hasn't rushed to Spitzer's defense over the trying past few weeks).
A spokesman for Huffington Post said that they reached out to Spitzer after hearing that he was giving a major speech, and confirmed that yesterday’s item was his first post there.
Well, he needs to do something to garner positive press...that press shop of his ain't working for him! Anderson does not serve him well. It's amateur hour throughout the entire administration.
You missed his ThinkProgress post:

How is becoming the "Blogging Governor" supposed to put to rest our concerns over the behavior of the executive branch? Governor Spitzer cannot hope to regain the voters trust until there is a full, fair and bi-partisan investigation of the potential abuse of power and misuse of the state police that includes full subpoena power; all email records and any personal email records of his Aides in which State Business was conducted. Maybe the Governor should blog about what he has done and how he plans to make it better.
