Who needs online campaigns? Vilsack for one

As reported on CNN, former Iowa governor and presidential hopeful Tom Vilsack is waging a cyber-campaign big time.

Not only does Vilsack have a campaign website, he's also got pages on all the major "social networking" sites, Facebook, a networking site popular with college students, MySpace, and even a site on video sharing site YouTube where he posts video clips. He also has a video blog on Blip.tv, a networking pages on Democratic Party Builder, LinkedIn, and diary pages on the liberal blogs Daily KOS, and MyDD.

Vilsack has also written and contributed on liberal blogs such as Daily KOS since as long ago as October. (as has Barack Obama and others.)

Other candidates including John Edwards have similar online efforts.

By the way, this former unpaid Kerry consultant isn't exactly thrilled with Vilsack.
