It seems like when election time rolls around, we always get an interesting look at how well old media understands the Web. In 2004, it was the fascination with Howard Dean's netroots campaign.
This year's online story is John McCain's daughter Meghan McCain's blog, which was the subject of an old media story on the front page of the LA Times.
It seems to me that the story doesn't totally "get" the blog. To me, the blog is very much like lots and lots of personal blogs out there. It's a look at her daily life -- mundane at times, silly at times, happy at times, too-much-information at times. These are not adjectives that describe typical political communications, but they do describe typical blogs. Maybe the reporter is too familiar with the former and not at all with the latter?
