Hillary's Web Offensive
During the 2008 presidential campaign, the Obama campaign famously ran circles around its opponents when it comes to digital technology and outreach. This item on TechPresident notes that Hillary Clinton's off to a pretty good start at State when it comes to technology. Some of that is owing to the digital outreach of James Glassman, the author and conservative publisher who ran public diplomacy under Condi Rice. (Okay, so my former New Republic colleague was a little off about Dow 36,000) Still it leaves Clinton with a powerful set of tools. Given the world financial crisis has become part of her purview, Geithner and who ever runs Commerce might want to get up to speed.


















Given what I think of Geithner (reinforced by his pitiable performance in introducing his "plan"), I won't shed even the tiniest of tears if Hillary runs circles around him on international financial negotiations to the extent of forcing his hand domestically.
