Danish PM finds running mates

"I am inviting my Facebook friends to jog with me this evening." Is it the new way for single people to meet? Or to keep fit after a day at the office? In Denmark, this is what the prime minister does to meet the electorate. Danes are going to the polls today to pick their next government and last night, the sitting prime minister, Anders Fogh Rasmussen, invited some of his 3,655 closest friends on Facebook to run with him in Copenhagen. Dressed in a black Nike tracksuit, the 54-year-old leader ran four miles around the lakes of Copenhagen along with his online mates. "Young voters are interested in politics but you must use alternative ways to reach them," Fogh Rasmussen told reporters, among them Monkey, on Monday morning. And boy, does he try to reach them. Aside from Facebook, Fogh Rasmussen also has a MySpace page. But Monkey wonders how you score with young voters when you list Bryan Adams's Back to You as one of your top tracks.
