With each election the internet and the new media become a much bigger part of the campaign process. The many voices of citizen journalists present information and stimulate discussion about issues and candidates that can not be duplicated by traditional outlets.

Virtually untapped just a dozen years ago, campaigns are embracing this trend to raise funds, increase name recognition, and give voice to their positions.

While still only a small part of overall campaign strategy, use of the new technologies and the opportunities they offer is growing at an amazing rate. Blog Talk Radio is one such outlet and campaigns of all sizes are taking notice.

Evidence of this trend? Ed Morrissey will be interviewing Senator John McCain on CQ Radio tomorrow afternoon at 2pm Eastern time. Follow the link and listen in. You can also participate in the program by calling 646-652-4889.
