A screen grab from Peter Hain's
website.
With six contenders for John Prescott's job, each deputy leadership candidate is currently setting out his or her stall on the internet.
Peter Hain launched a professional-looking deputy leadership website this weekend with an interesting blog post dated March 5 2008.
Since today is March 19, and we are a quarter of the way through 2007, one wonders if Mr Hain was posting after a couple of celebratory pints of Guinness. "I'm arriving back in the UK today from the annual St Patrick's day bash at the White House," he writes, "one of the nicer obligations of being Northern Ireland secretary."
Key in peterhain.co.uk by mistake and you will be led to Liberal Democrat Chris Huhne's website, where obviously you will struggle to find any mention of Mr Hain's deputy leadership bid.
Who says politicians don't know how to use the internet?
