Nice political campaign blog

Politicians who blog: Usually this results in politicians telling the same stuff they tell in their flyers, except with more pics from the kids and a little bit more extended. And yet a blog can be a great way for politicians to really prove what they are up to. We have local elections coming up in Oktober and a young socialist politician from my home town Gent is currently the talk of the town. Her campaign website www.lienbraeckevelt.be is a blog and it' s a great mixture of a diary and a creative approach to campaigning. She used the creative capital of her network of friends who made some funny and creative campaign clips. They posted them on Youtube, Lien embedded these clips into her blog and it got picked up by some A-list bloggers. I have to admit: the buzz and the movie clips were the bait for me to have a look at her website. She created a momentum for me to cut through the election clutter and open myself up for her message. Something I otherwise block my attention from. She's passionate, she has a heart for Gent and she has a creative network... which is for me an important criterium. looks like a local heroin in the make. ;-)
