Hart's a' Bloggin'
Gary Hart has started a weblog.
It has comments (moderated--wisely, I think). I'm looking forward to how it evolves. I'm certainly one who had mostly dismissed Gary Hart from public life, but I've been impressed with his speeches and writing recently. He strikes me as straightforward and intelligent and, most important, inclined to treat the issues as important rather than a game conducted for political points.
In his first entry, he says:
The Internet is clearly the most important new medium to help increase people's involvement in a "primary of ideas." It's an amazing tool for people to share ideas, talk about their concerns and their dreams, and debate the many important policy ideas that will affect our country's future.I plan to use this blog for just such a discussion. From time to time, I'll post my thoughts on current policy matters, as well as share some stories about where I'm traveling and the people I'm meeting. I'll also ask some of my friends to share their thoughts as well. I cannot promise to be as skillful at this as many of those who have made the blogger universe such an important part of the internet. However, I'm committed to using the Internet as a vital tool to engage people on critical policy matters and the future of our country.
Good luck in the blogosphere, Mr. Hart.
