McCain Surrogates Connect With Online Media
For example, the McCain campaign has recently provided several high-profile female McCain surrogates. For example, our own Amanda Carpenter, writing at Glamour, interviewed Mary Matalin. BlogHer landed former Rep. Susan Molinari -- and HotAir's Ed Morrissey got an interview with former CEO Carly Fiorina.
The McCain campaign has also sought to match local surrogates with local blogs. For example, The American Mind interviewed Rep. Paul Ryan, while PolitickerWa interviewed former SoS Ralph Munro.
