Introducing...Campaign Mike!

Here’s some earth-shattering news: right now, the nation is abuzz with talk of politics. Questions about issues like gas prices, energy policies, and immigration flood newsrooms, press conferences, and political blogs around the world. But one of the most important questions in this year’s political races presented itself yesterday morning, when a blog story about the “Lien Machine Listening Tour” found itself posted on Chris Lien’s website: who is this Campaign Mike character that captivated me with his wit, wisdom, and writing charm?

Well, as you can surmise, my name is Mike (first name not Campaign) and I’ll be serving the Chris Lien for Congress campaign as its New Media Director. The bottom line? You’ll have plenty of opportunities to read my various writings and ramblings as I focus on getting the inside scoop about the campaign out to you, the people of South Dakota (and the rest of the world) on all of our communication fronts.

Of course, nobody likes the guy at the party who doesn’t know when to shut his mouth, so I’ll be doing plenty of listening too. I’ll be searching the blogs, forums, and news streams to find out what it is the people of South Dakota are saying. So please, comment as much as you want, like, and can. The more I hear from you, the better I’ll be at my job. To be honest, I’m fairly new to the political scene, so any input I can get from you wily veterans patrolling the political blogosphere would be greatly appreciated. I’m no stranger to criticism, constructive or not, so hit me with your best shot.

Hopefully this has satiated your burning desire to find out more about this mysterious newcomer, “Campaign Mike.” If you have any other questions or comments for me (Campaign Mike), feel free to e-mail me at mike@chrislienforcongress.com. I’d love to hear from you, whether it’s an understandable (and preferred) e-mail of praise or a complaint about the incredibly talkative maniac behind the steering wheel of this speed machine we call a blog. We’ve got a long road ahead of us, but this is one driver who is cut out for the long run and is looking forward to the journey. The more people who want to come along for the ride, the better.
