Almost every major candidate, from Hillary Clinton to John McCain and Mitt Romney, has hired well-known Web voices to help the candidates tap into the vast fund-raising, organization and communication potential of the Internet. That group is potentially huge: a Pew study of blogs during August 2006 found 4.8 million people blogging, commenting or otherwise sharing political content online...
