Boston Globe Political reporter James Pindell set out to find out as part of his "Primary Question" series. This week James stopped by the Survey Center to talk to its director, Andy Smith. |

How blogging is shaping political dialogue in NH. |
| Intro Blogging Return to index of stories... |
Blogging -- it's the new medium for connecting and interacting. Political web logs.that cover state and national politics are growing at breakneck speed this election season. Take for example, BlueHampshire, a political blog launched in 2006, it gets a thousand hits a day. Dean Barker is one of the blogs co-founders. Just as the traditional media are out in force when a presidential candidate come to town so, too are the bloggers. I caught up with Dean at a recent campaign event in Portsmouth to talk politics and the power of the blogosphere. |
