Blogging the byelection

Also in today's Guardian is this snippet: Hartlepool Lib Dem blogs her way into byelection history

"Jody Dunn, a photogenic barrister and mother of four who hopes to wrest Peter Mandelson's constituency from Labour, will daily detail what she has been doing, and reply to voters who log on.

"The blog is thought to be a first in the field of byelection electioneering.

"www.jodydunn.org.uk is expected to charter her schedule as a candidate while coping with motherhood and a career as a family lawyer."

Comment: Hopefully this will continue to be a little more than just the extremely loose interpretation of blogging which some other Lib Dem campaign teams seem to have latched onto (Simon Hughes: I'm looking at you). Those interested in the race for Hartlepool are reminded to take a peek at the ever-interesting Guacamoleville.
