Scoble working for John Edwards

Former Microsoft evangelist Robert Scoble is about to leave PodTech.
He’s planning to announce his next position on Jan 15th.

Brian Bailey suggests that Scoble may be looking at going to work for the John Edwards campaign – depending on the results of the Iowa caucus. Edwards has been locked in 3rd place most of the election season. But he could still pull out a surprise in Iowa, knocking off Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton.

Interesting. Very interesting.

Of course I still think Ron Paul and Mike Huckabee have the best online presences of the campaign – although Ron Paul’s camp isn’t doing most of theirs – it’s his supporters. The same for Mike Huckabee, except his campaign actually shares, posts and links to user created content, where as Paul almost seems to ignore the user created content.

Huckabee doesn’t seem like much of a dark horse anymore. Depending on the poll he’s clearly leading in Iowa and tied or leading the GOP race nationally. Paul on the other hand could still come out from behind and surprise everyone.

Should be interesting to see what happens on both the GOP and Dem side.

DNC denies Drudge item came from them

Drudge plastered, “DEMS HOLD FIRE ON HUCKABEE; SEE ‘EASY KILL’ IN GENERAL ELECTION” on the top of his front page today.

Not that it matters in my opinion, whether they do or don’t, but according to the Mike Huckabee campaign, DNC Communications Director Karen Finney said:

“We always appreciate having our hard work noticed, and we know Mitt Romney likes to feel special, but the truth is we’ve been tracking Huckabee for over a year. The Romney campaign should take heart in the fact that the Drudge Report is buying their spin hook, line and sinker because nothing in that story came from us.”

The Huckabee campaign added in an e-mail today: Romney’s camp keeps a close watch on who the Dems are hitting and have boasted in the past about how they are the most popular target.

Personally, I don’t think it really matters who the Dems are attacking at this point – most of the GOP have done a fine job attacking each other on their own.
