He may be a third tier candidate, but Chris Dodd's campaign team has some good ideas for netroots outreach. Tonight, Blue Hampshire will be your host for a peek into Chris Dodd's camapign war room.
Just wanted to give a heads up on something the Dodd campaign is doing during the debate. Being a New Hampshire blog, we'd especially love your participation.
We are going to be doing a real time live-stream from inside the debate war room. You would be able to embed the stream on your blog ... just like a youtube clip.
The Deputy Campaign Manager and Policy Director (and other staffers) are going to field questions submitted throughout the debate, answering them as they come in in real-time.
Since candidates only have 60 seconds to an answer questions, maybe people want more information on why Dodd supports Reid-Feingold? Maybe there's a question not asked during the debate? Do folks want to know from our research director whose rhetoric is not matching their record? Maybe they just want to see what the war room is like during a debate.
I am going to be scanning the blogs emedding the stream on their on their sites and getting as many questions answered as possible over the course of the hour and a half. I can promise to make sure those submitted on your site are among them.
I think this is a stellar idea. What a great way to reach out to netroots activists. Every campaign should be doing this, but Dodd's people thought of it first.
If your interested, be sure to check out Blue Hampshire tonight at 7pm est, during the Debates.
