In particular the <a href="http://blog.ainebrady.com/?p=10" rel="nofollow">Is the Web fuelling a crisis in politics?</a> post. My money is on this blog dying a death. As you say, it is just an election poster. In Brady's case, she simply does not understand what a blog is. The whole interactive aspect is lost on her. Most frustrating is that, when she does respond to comments, she edits them into the original post, not in comments. It was a long time before I realised this and was assuming she just didn't do replies. Next update in 5 years I reckon. Not worth while pointing my WebMon at the site until then.

I would have high hopes for his blog - and Thomas Byrne's. They've both been fairly genuine about their use of the web so far. We'll just have to see how it fairs come September/October/November and the realities of working as an elected representative.
