Retail politics…
“Retail politics” is a term used to describe, among other things, the ol’ fashioned campaign technique of shaking hands and kissing babies. We still get a little of this in New Hampshire and Iowa, but, for the most part, we encounter our presidential candidates on TV screens far more than on Main Street.
I like the idea of shaking hands and kissing babies (how justified that is, I’m not sure), so I also like the idea of candidates actually writing on their own blogs. Check out this item from PoliticalWire about Gary Hart (maybe a candidate) and Howard Dean.
